Here is my current high score if folks want to compare. 9981 points. I'm pretty sure all the winners though will be folks that shelled out for atleast a reduce complexity, and that isn't me.

And here is the team I was using.

Where did you find that rankings screen?

Thanks, I'm currently in the top 10% or so but that won't last. I see all the top scores also had mewtwo on their team, sigh.

Okay, so my first score of 9981 fell out of the top 10000 in the first day, so I decided I'd bite the cost and get a reduce complexity to try to boost my score and chances of keeping a top 20k spot, only boosted my best by a bit over 2000 in the end to a hair over 12000 but it was enough to bring me back into the top 4000. Here is the update. Yeah, I swapped in Togakiss too.

Level 37 I think is normal meowth, alot fewer coins but still more than most. Richy Meowth seems to show up on week ends and is one play per day only.

Theory I get, but I am not quick fingered.

I don't know its origin.

Just thought this stuff might interest you that is all, since you played this game. Poor presumption I guess, sorry.

The ones that kept freezing everything were always my bain. I'd end up getting close once then out of frustration burning a gem to finish it, or using a mega start or something to help crack the barriers. They are still a pain, can't S rank a Gengar to save my life!

That can take a loooong time too though, but it is handy, what is more important, nature or ivs? My 12000 point score will be pushed out of thee top 10000 again by tomorrow, atleast it took three days this time, but it'll still be cutting it really close especially if people start making a last minute push, which I expect they will.

Holy Kamazoly! I'm glad I decided to splurge for one more try with boosts to better my score! I almost doubled it to 23k-ish and broke the top 300 out of what is almost 200000 people now! Well that should do it anyway. Yowza! That was intense.

That one gives many people headaches if the shuffle community is any indication, I've definitly noticed it too, seems most of the harder levels are from that point on and i used a couple of boosts just to get past some of them the first time.

Nice One! 101!

I had 40000 coin at one point this weekend then I made that last try at mega lucario and Two attempts to catch Heatran with boosts (got it the second time) now I'm back down to around 12000, they disappear quickly. I S ranked a few more stages too, but still have 15 or more to go. Which ones have or are giving you the most headaches?

Yeah the mega stages certainly seem toughest. I was one turn off S ranking Mega Galie this morning with a mega start and disruption delay, so close but yet a step backwards. When working with megas (especially mawile) on my team I keep forgetting that when switching with a match at both ends, it does the one you released on first, sometimes wiping out the other with mega effect before counting it.

Angela, my wife, is sitting at 12023 points with about 500 people between her and that 20k prize line and 2.5 hours for that number to bump her out, not looking good but technically still in the running. She is working on stage 80 and most of the pokemon she was using were level 1 so it is impressive she got this far.

Yeah, I've got a soft spot for her, I'm not putting any cash into this game for myself, but she asked nice so I got her a few gems to try to up her score with. (got a competitive streak in her) Her first try she got over 13k and a few thousand buffer so she should be ok for it now and still has a couple of gems left over for next time.

ƒinal result. A winner is me! Very happy with 343.

I wonder if the new main stages will count towards unlocking Mewtwo and maybe other expert stages. Good work, I caught Pachirisu but missed the other new ones I tried because I was unwilling to use great balls.

Awsome, he's handy!

He's fighting type and pretty strong. Fighting is the old type that is extra effective against normal type and one of only a couple that are good against dark and steel types. It is also good agaist rock and ice, but so are many others. I just remembered, my wife still hasn't caught him yet either. Sure wanted that stone though.

old => only

Sweet! That will make getting Mewtwo much quicker. Thanks for the info, I was hoping it would be the case. Maybe they put in Rayalquaz or something as another expert stage too unlock later too. I don't know who else they might use following up Mewtwo is no easy feat.

Congratulations, that's one of the common road blocks past! Hopefully pick up some more tools along the way.
