... so why am I trying to unlock THAT?
We're all not-so secretly masochists
Sounds terrible

That sounds like frustration hell. It'd be annoying enough if it wasn't timed, but all that compounded with a yucky catch rate? Ugh...

That's my last one, too. I'm going to put it off and farm Meowth for a while, since I went through like 80,000 coins the past week and I feel poor now. I also have two EX Pokemon left to catch (Blaziken and Xerneas), so it's not like I have nothing to do except S-Rank Timburr and catch Genesect.
Dood! Thanks. I'm very close.

Unless you are stuck, there isn't much benefit to farming the Meowth stage for coins until you've cleared all the main stages at least once. You get a comparable number of coins for your first clear of each stage and you actually make progress.

I will never ever mock Candy Crush Saga survivors again. Im so sorry F2P players, I needed to walk the mile (and Monster Strike didn't count).
I'm trying to farm so I can capture groudon, and rayquaza. My pokemon are very low level at the moment. Not much time left until Ray is gone. 😬

Who are you using on Rayquaza, and what level are they at?
I'm using the optimized set. Kanghaskan(mega) lvl 3, Swirlix lvl 1, audino lvl 4, and phanpy lvl 3.
I started playing the game like two days ago. :/ I was able to beat groudon, but he got away.
I'm hoping the coins help with double atack, more moves, and mega start.

Druddigon will be back tomorrow as one of the daily pokes. He's a dragon type with a base of 60. Have you tried using Eevee to speed up Kanghaskan evolution?

You're better off spending your hearts advancing and capturing stronger pokemon. You'll probably make more coins doing that than trying to farm Meowth anyway.
Also, don't bother with Moves +5 if your aim is to capture a pokemon. Moves +5 is only really useful to get S-ranks or get past a level you are stuck on.
There are 180 main stages as of now.

Decent team in short levels, in longer ones, a minute plus, you have time to evolve and I find Lucario to be head and shoulders above the rest in most conditions. It evolves very quickly, and its mega-effect clears away all disruptions for at least 50% of the screen.

Assuming they have Mega Lucario of course.
I'm at level 161. Besides Onix (who I went at once before saying eff it and using Complexity -1), I also had trouble with Larvesta. Used a Mega Start and Disruption Delay and even then only won with Zero moves left.
Lucarionite is the one Mega Stone I don't have, but Lucario is perfect anyway. I forgot about him since he's not Lv5 yet like the others, so he wasn't showing up in optimisation.
EDIT: Fighting is weak against Fairy!
Phew, Timburr barely S-ranked via Mega Start with Mewtwo & +5 Moves. 7 more to go....
I THINK for a decent amount of stages, a S-Rank is obtained if you make less than half the moves given to you, so like, if you're allowed 10 moves, if you beat it with 5 or more left, then I think that's an S-Rank, but 4 moves remaining is an A-rank.

What have you been spending them on? How far along are you?
I'm at Milotic. been spending them unsuccessfully on the contests...
and Mega stages...Barrylocke

Try not to spend them on extra turn at least It's very inefficient compared to buy extra turns start.

I can't quite manage this. I score like crazy once the huge tree in the middle is gone, but it takes a little bit too long to get rid of it and so I always end up going over the S-rank limit by a few turns.
Just got up to this stage. You guys are worrying me. How hard can it be?
EDIT: Well then. I'll just go and catch Feebas first.
Yeah, using Feebas was a good shout (thanks internet). Otherwise, the stage would be close to impossible I think (without using items at least).

Used a Great Ball to catch Rayquaza at 58%.
Groudon is nuts though. Keep running out of matches.

I thought Mega Slowbro was a way better pick for this stage.
I beat Genesect once without items in the extra time.
Base catch rate is 1% with no surprise
It seems I forgot to mention that barriers can appear on empty spaces (mons on top of it will fall inside, but if there's another barrier on top, nothing will fall inside until you get rid of the top one which can be impossible sometimes.) and on indestructible blocks.
Barriers appear on the most annoying places btw. (2nd row from the top and bottom and 2nd column from the left and right + random ones).
Oh and beforte you ask. Yes - smoke on top of barrier on top of indestructible block is a thing.
Been playing this for the past week or so and man.. I kind of hate it. The puzzles are boring, the game looks unappealing, I have to mute the music, the extra stages seem geared to make you spend and timer mechanics are inherently annoying. Concept has potential and maybe the end game is worth it but this is just not a fun match 3 game from what I've played.

I've been stuck at stupid ass Mega Glalie Argggghhh
Feebas as the fourth Pokemon worked fine with my Mega Ampharos, Sceptile, and Zapdos/Raikou. Got lucky and beat Milotic without items but only got C rank
Now trying to S-rank all of the remaining Pokemon after finishing all of the main stages. Haven't even unlocked EX 20 yet :/
It does not
Bummer. Then there's no point in S-ranking them.
