Support NeoGAF

[Loptous]

Swap two tokens in the third row down so you make two matches of three, one at the top of the first column and one at the top of the third.

Use Mega Gengar.

I think I've had better combos by swapping the tokens in the middle columns overall.

 

[EuricaeriS]

I'm getting reeeaaaally concerned that I'm not going to see Sharpedo again before the safari ends. I've used at least 20 hearts a day since the event started, and haven't seen him since, like, day 2. :/

In the same boat Seen it once, almost certain I'm going to lose out.

Spoiler

Just like when I went on holiday shortly after the Mega Blastoise event and got nothing, just for checking in a week late. Welp.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I found a video on Youtube for Carvahna. Worked for the first move but my configuration ended up different. Lucked into clearing it with 1 move left. Needed 2 Great Balls but at least I got them all.

 

[Brazil]

Come on, Sharpedo

COME ON

Woah that worked, the first time I beat it with 0 moves left, but the second time with 2 and finally I got it, thanks! Safari complete!

 

[Bladelaw]

I've given up on Sharpedo. 50 hearts into the Safari and I haven't seen it once. I'm going to continue my futile attempts at beating Mega Gengar.

Don't give up, man. Especially because Sharpedo has a Mega form too.

 

[-Horizon-]

Finally beat Mega Aerodactyl. Still can't beat Xerneas.

 

[Chopper]

For FUCK SAKE Sharpedo!!!

 

[Kito]

Still can't beat Xerneas. Using mega mawile, nidoking, nidoqueen, and that key one lol

Swap Klefki with Bronzong, and grind Buneary until they're all at least Lv5.

So keep nidoking and mawile too then?

 

[Kito]

So keep nidoking and mawile too then?

Yes.

 

[-Horizon-]

Yes.

Off to level up some Pokemon then!

 

[Robin64]

The Mega Banette challenge is live.

Hooray, more stress.

The password 04482045 is also live. You get 5 Exp. Points x1.5s.

 

[Caddywompus]

Mega Banette went live.

Mega Sableye worked better than Mega Gengar so far but when I use items Gengar will get the start.

 

[JoeM86]

The usual ranking amounts, too.

10,000 in Europe
20,000 in North America
50,000 in Japan

 

[Chopper]

I don't have time for this event. I'm still trying to get Sharpedo to appear! 2 days left!!

 

[Hegarol]

Did a few attempts and got about 14 000 points. Hate it that we still have only 10 000 winners in Europe. Its a lot harder to get the megastone than in the US.

It's proportional, though.

It's ~10% of the entrants from the last competitions.

 

[SenorArdilla]

US scores are already near 60k. Wow.

 

[JoeM86]

Only got 16,432 with Complexity -1. I suck at these timed stages, I'm too slow at deciding moves it seems

 

[abstract alien]

Come on, Sharpedo

COME ON

Just randomly encountered Cherrim, luckly I won. Sharpedo still elludes me though. What team are you running? I'm using Mega Gengar(because gaf told me to), Lucario, and Scyther. I should probably use Scizor since I just got them and they would be more useful once upgraded.

Edit: Cherrim twice in a row. The time is now!

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Welp, can confirm that coin cap is 99,999 and not 99,990 and I am now forever stuck with a 9 at the end of my coin total

 

[Hegarol]

Welp, can confirm that coin cap is 99,999 and not 99,990 and I am now forever stuck with a 9 at the end of my coin total

Why is that a problem?

 

[Robin64]

Why is that a problem?

It's more of an annoyance than a problem. I know it would drive me nuts too.

 

[Loptous]

Welp, can confirm that coin cap is 99,999 and not 99,990 and I am now forever stuck with a 9 at the end of my coin total

Welcome to the club ! : D

Why is that a problem?

It just looks terrible : P

 

[Caddywompus]

Just think of that 9 as a badge of honor, not everyone reaches that goal.


If I remember correctly last Competition was just below 15,000 points to rank in the top 20,000. The scores already seem inflated so what do you think, probably above 16,000 to feel relatively safe.

 

[Chopper]

I CAUGHT SHARPEEEEEDOOOOOOOO!!!

WOOOO HOOOOO!

 

[Robin64]

I CAUGHT SHARPEEEEEDOOOOOOOO!!!

WOOOO HOOOOO!

 

[Kilvin]

Is there any trick to getting different Pokemon to appear in safari? I've been getting the same three for a week and a half.

Persistence.

 

[Kilvin]

Persistence.

I was afraid of that, thanks.

 

[Robin64]

I was afraid of that, thanks.

What's amusing is people came up with all sorts of theories, but I guess that's just human nature. Trying to spot a pattern where this isn't one.

But yeah, it's just random with some Pokémon having a higher % chance to appear than others.

 

[Zonic]

Phew, got 21,447 on my second attempt, but had Complexity -1 & Distortion Delay.

...ranked 164. I think that should suffice for a while.

 

[Razmos]

Xerneas and Yvetal are being a fucking pain in the ass to catch. Yvetal less than Xerneas (since I can actually beat Yvetal with some frequency) but the damn thing broke out twice in a row at 50%

 

[Junahu]

A nice comfortable 9th for the Banetite competition.
You really need that Complexity -1 to get anywhere with Mega Banette. Gulpin is more disruptive than the actual disruptions.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Banette just gasses everywhere. I don't bother with the Disruption Delay. Currently 386th last I checked. I expect to drop to the thousands after better players start popping up.

 

[OmegaX]

I guess I'll have to capture Yvetal if I want a chance to get the Mega Banetite. I hope there is enough time to grind my team.

 

[Elija2]

Yveltal and Zoroark look too much alike and it messes me up. I think I'm better off picking a weaker Pokemom in place of Zoroark just so it won't confuse me.

 

[JoeM86]

I'd replace Yveltal. Zoroark's Sinister Power is useful but Yveltal's Power of 5 in the timed challenges...not so much

 

[Elija2]

Really, even with Yveltal's high attack power?

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Really, even with Yveltal's high attack power?

increased damage done by type x is much more important in competitions than attack power, so joe is right. If you have to get rid of one, it should be Yvetal.

 

[Bladelaw]

Don't give up, man. Especially because Sharpedo has a Mega form too.

god dammit. well after yesterday it's 60 hearts no sharpedo sightings.

 

[-Horizon-]

Somehow ranked 4000 this morning. Doubt I'll stay there haha since when I played it only about 16,000 people had played.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

USed items on mega banette because why not, I have nothing else to spend coins on.

Currently ranked 20th in Europe with a score of 35k.

Another easy competition, gonna go back to ignoring shuffle until monday now.

 

[DocSeuss]

Mega Mewtwo Y is distressing.

 

[Chris1]

rank 1.5k with a score of 14k in EU, no items used. Hopefully that lasts until next week, if not I'll just cave and use items.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Top NA player isn't even using any Megas. Sinister Power is too good.

 

[-Horizon-]

Mega Mewtwo Y is distressing.

I may have used items for that one, it was the only way I could beat it.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I used Mega Gengar, Chandelure, Haunter, and Misdreavus and got 8k. I guess I should get Yveltal and Zoroark. Will probably need Disruption Delay for Zoroark since the unbreakable blocks make it nearly impossible to combo.

Mega Gengar is good for match-and-forget.
