I got a gem for that Lucario competition. Hopefully they give another shot at the Mega.

I'm almost certain that the S-ranks for the EX stages are based on time remaining and not the score. Actually, I'm less sure about this but I also think that the S-ranks for the main stages are also tied to moves remaining. I think S-rank for EX is half or more time remaining, and S-rank for Main is usually half or more moves remaining. The only exception I've seen to this so far (while paying attention to it) is Pachirisu on which I had half remaining but only got A-rank. That and the Haxorus stage.
Either way, I S-ranked Mewtwo with 1:00 remaining and a score of 35778.
I haven't played EX for awhile so I forgot it was time, not score that mattered. 1:00 remaining, you say? I'll keep it in mind, thanks!

Trying it out again and getting into more than initial run. Still wish the timer was not stupid.
I can survive if this is Nintendo's future.

I'd like to know where I could find something like this as well.

Onix is a special kind of frustrating. I haven't beaten him yet, but I either get him down to a sliver of health or have more than half his health left. You gotta get crazy lucky with chain combos falling from the heavens!
I've tried 5 extra moves, mega start, AND disruption delay all at once.
3 times... Still haven't gotten past him. ;_;
Onix is the troll. Seriously, even with disruption delay I can't still beat it.
Disruption Delay plus Complexity-1 work really well.

Fennekin feels like "I'm sorry for the hard stages just two stages ago, so..."
Thank you for this, I would have never thought of using Dedenne and it works so well, had to use a great ball but I caught Melotic. Now to go back for the 4 I didn't manage to catch.

What teams are you guys using to beat Onix?
I added Glalie and Absol to Mega Mawile and Lucario for their disruption abilities and I'm so close maybe I just need a lucky run from a big combo.

Beat onix with mega lucario, bronzing, Klefki and something else I forget. Focussed on evolving quickly and it wasn't too bad.
The daily today is pathetic, can't see people having much trouble with it!

Took me 5 attempts for capture though, despite it being easy as hell and always having 50+% capture rate

Just wasted 9000 coins not catching Fennekin, screw this
I think these Great Balls are not worth it unless you end up with a 100%, the original rate being a toss-up, and you have done the stage multiple times in a row.

Great balls are never worth it ever, really. If you can beat the stage, you can catch the Pokémon, it's just a matter of persistence.
Great Balls are worth it in exactly one case: If you can't beat said stage without 2500+ coins worth of powerups. In that case, using a Great Ball is faster and cheaper than retrying. Otherwise you're better off just being patient and using another heart.

Now that I think about it I think sometimes it might be with it when you really need to move on and you are still getting what you dome warm, but I see your point.
Dome warm? Is that auto-correct, voice-to-text, or some expression I've never heard before? 8D
Just give us a Mega-Slowbro for each type, all we ever need.

Seems okay with the right team, like, an all-fighting team in an EX stage would destroy an opponent.

I beat Pichu stage with one combo and his catch rate was still only 39% or so. I bought a Great Ball because I was tired of his crap.
The other Pokemon seem to have a fair rate.
Was lucky this morning...
Yeah, Lucario is the only Fighting Mega so far too IIRC.
He's pretty much like Mega Kangaskhan but clears tiles vertically instead of horizontally if you want an idea.
He also increases damages from fighting combos which is the strategy the top Japanese player used for the event (with fairy types though).
I don't think that's bad at all.
Haven't tested it but I'm pretty sure it could trivialize Zoroark.

Holy shit. You're not kidding. I've been struggling with Yveltal for days! I've not even managed to beat him before, but just now:It's the most helpful Mega against Yveltal
It can be quite helpful.
8 seconds to spare.
Thanks!

Tablet, meet leopard...er, software keyboard.
*is now going back and catching things that haven't been caught before Milotic'ing*
Hmm...is there such a thing as a "one weird trick" for that?
I also think that Wacky Workshop is at least 20 stages long, given that the stage still extends beyond stage 165. (I actually haven't attempted Milotic yet.)
Yeah over the next 3 weeks

So I decided to look into Japanese Wikis (search ポケとる wiki ) to see if I can find anything useful. I've failed to find any breakdown of mechanics. It might be possible from watching videos to deduce damage and chains provided you know the level of their team etc.
It was able to find a partial level up table which I have guessed the rest.
No idea if lower power Pokemon level up any faster or not (in Link Battle they became friendly faster). Looking at level 5 30 power could also end up at 55 power at level 10 though...

This is bullshit, I failed to catch Sigilyph 5 times in a row with 60% catch rate
Exact same thing for me too, I ended up catching it on the 5th attempt though

Interesting info...Have the JP players mined the fastest/most efficient leveling stage?
