Pokémon Shuffle General Discussion

[Dragalge]

Ash-Greninja was a joke the moment I used Attack Power+ and Mega Start. I managed to catch it at 97% with 33 seconds left so that's fine. I might plan to do a full item run to see if I can get the Raise Max Level.

Anyone if we got anything datamined yet?

 

[Br0k3n s0Ul]

Since I don't have Mega Ray or Mega Garchomp, I'm gonna be using Mega Amp, who's MAX. Thoughts?

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

I managed to catch (Calem)-Greninja itemless. Still, that ability is a bit of a letdown.

I'm building up my coins to the max to get Zygarde over with. Move +5 is going to be used more frequently.

 

[Mega Typhlosion]

Ash-Greninja caught easily with a Great Ball and no other items. So, my job for this week is done. May try to improve the score on Mega Blaziken later on the week to ensure I get the Speedup, but other than that I'll focus on the EX and main stages.

As for Greninja strategy, I first tried Mega Sceptile, but the disruptions were preventing me from dealing enough damage, so I switched to Mega Ampharos and won with 11 seconds left. 36% chance of capture which failed, so got it with a Great Ball. Easy prey.

Since I don't have Mega Ray or Mega Garchomp, I'm gonna be using Mega Amp, who's MAX. Thoughts?

Hmm, taking about Greninja or Blaziken? If Greninja, then Ampharos should be more than enough. It will clear some disruptions and help the combos. It also has high AP.

I don't know if I have either, but I do know that I have Aurorus, Kyogre, and Garchomp, which I used for my newest high score.

Oh for Blaziken I don't know as I haven't really tried the stage enough. I did only one run with Mega Swampert. See if someone else can give you a hand on picking your best team.
Usually Mega Gengar is a good neutral choice for any stage. So if you have it, try it.

 

[Its_A_Random]

Threw an Attack Power ↑ at Ash-Greninja and demolished it with 31 seconds left with Mega Manectric / Zekrom / Shaymin / Angrychu and catching it in a Poké Ball. Repeated Super Bolt procs take their toll alright. I then had a couple of goes at Mega Blaziken with my best score being a meme score of 60,000 using Mega Rayquaza / Landorus / Tyranitar / Palkia (which should secure the Blazikenite, don't care too much about the RML this time around). Now grinding Ash-Greninja, Landorus-T, and my two RML buffed Pokémon (Charizard and Groudon) on Ampharos since I have nothing better to do at the moment.

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

Phew! I got a +5 skip right on 295. I used Move +5 (and Attack Power+ just to be safe.. Maybe I overdid things with the first item... Eh.)

And this marks the end of this controversial slug. Now I need to rebuild my coins by another 10,000.

 

[Kacho]

i caught ash-greninja with an all max electric team with manectriac and it goes in pokeball like after 10 tries #too cheap for great ball

place myself in Blazikenite for now, but gonna look again at end of week

ok so next week is last week of april, new main stages again?

also i'm leveling Pokemon. got Crogaunk, mr mime and noivern max level after using them for various special safari last few times. now to level other things

 

[Secundum]

Any word on what we get next week? Just coin grinding currently.

 

[cassius335]

Reached 180, so back to Meowth for a bit...

 

[Br0k3n s0Ul]

I'm coin grinding with the team I'm gonna be using on Blaziken, partially because I need the coins later for S-ranks, Roserade, and Greninja, but also because not all of my Pokemon are MAX. In fact, Ampharos and Lucario are the only ones. I need to do more Survival Mode.

Edit: As of now, I have A-Greninja. Used a DD and AP+ and beat him with 15 or so seconds left. To be honest, I should have had a practice round, but oh well. That brought the chance up to 49%, but he still escaped. I figured I could spend 2500 to boost the capture rate to 98% percent. Thank goodness he didn't escape then. However, I was brought down to just 5200 coins, so I had to grind back up to 6500 for Blaziken's final day. I S-ranked Fennekin and next, I'm gonna work on Braixen as both training A-Gren and S-ranks. Basically, my targets are all Fire types for now (perhaps I'll catch Blaziken!) and then I'll move on to Rock and Ground types.

Blaziken have a pretty bad catch rate. You can use the Jewel strategy to catch him(I used it).

Naw, I think I'll just use everything you can buy. Y'know, minus Complexity -1.

Believe it! The Jewel strategy is cheap than using almost all items. 1 Jewel = 3000 Coins.
Now I'm at level 297 in Zygarde 50% and crossing my fingers to skip the level 300. I have only two more chances... 297 -> 298, 298 -> 299. D:

My problem is, I have no jewels, because I'm a bit of a cheapskate. And I don't know the strat, since I'm an amateur.
Also, good for you. Honestly, I just beat level 100 and was happy with it.

You must leave Blaziken with very low Hp and only purposely lose in the end, then just use a Jewel and defeat him fast as you can.

Jewel = 15 Seconds.

Blaziken catch rate: 1% (+10% per 3 seconds remaining).

In my case I beat him with 13 seconds remaining and got a catch rate of 41%, even with this I needed the Great Ball to catch him. Just save your coins for the Great Ball(2500 or 3500) in the end.

41% + 41%(Great Ball) = 82% + 18% = MAX Catch Rate(I got Super Catch Rate Power).

My team was M-Aerodactyl, Palkia, Swampert and Gligar itemless. Both Aerodactyl and Gligar have Cloud Clear that can help a little.

Edit: I'm at 298 now and still not Anger Zygarde... Only one more chance to skip level 300. D:

 

[Cyberra]

I placed a decent score in the Mega Blaziken competition, should net me the mega stone. I also went after Greninja-A, used an MS and ATK+ and took it down with 13 seconds remaining. Needed a great ball to catch it, though.

Currently I'm re-coining and training kyogre so I can use it when I tackle regular blaziken. Will be running m-swamp, garchomp, milotic, and kyogre. Would usually run blastoise, but milotic and kyogre are stronger. May also run that team against m-blaze and see how well it does if I have the time.

 

[Guywhoiam]

I just can't beat Ash Greninja. I'm so terrible it makes me cry.

Use an Attack Power Up with some Eletric and Grass types Pokemons. My team was M-Manectric, Zekrom, Angry-Pikachu and Zapdos with Attack Power Up.
