I hope it's at your house atleast and not elsewhere at large. That way it is far more likely to be stumbled across.

Well I'm glad you found it anyway.

Thes new random pokemon safari stages are a neat twist too! Picking a powerful and versatile team is a cool challenge.

Might try a Rock, Fire, Ice, And electric or psychic team next, hmm or perhaps dark.

Hmm... Bug is extra effective against dark and grass.

I just had a 72 combo using gengar with xerneas and scyther. I thought about heracross but it was one I picked up late so it is only level one and my scyther and scizor are levels 8 and 7 respectively.

Caught him with 15 moves left and a great ball. His disruption really takes off quick!

I was using the same mega gengar, xerneas, scyther group I had been. Just put up a post with more details, but you know most of it I guess. Encountered around 9:30pm, I was curious if the dark types were more prevalent at night and grass at day but haven't tested as I switched to other things after the catch.

No worries, I was posting it as I wrote that comment, made the post after the catch in off line mode so I could post it when I got home.

Hmm. I'm going to need to go back and check again, my last page has 7 on it with the 5 safari ones and no genesect. Must have missed another one somewhere.

Ha! Found it. Somehow I missed Chandelure and didn't notice. I'm glad it wasn't some special event stage I missed though.

That was a productive play session. Caught Chandelure on 1st play (in 2 move, 90% catch rate!) then went on to S rank 3 more of the troublesome original stages in 4 plays. The new pokemon may have helped. Speaking of which I only need 11 more S ranks to unlock Ex21, so if I don't in a couple of weeks they probably release 15 more main stages again and that'll do it. Mega stages seem hardest.

176 Timburr is a pain too, seems to mess with your mega.

It struck me as a rather weak way to celebrate 3.5 million downloads. Past celebrations have been give aways, not a new special stage going up to replace one that just expired.

I hit the coin cap today. Time to switch into strategic spending mode. It is the only way I know of to get a balance with something other than zero as your final digit since all transactions are by units of 10 or more. So I guess I'll never be broke now, I'll always have those last 9 coins to remind me of when I was rich.

Klim that trick on the bannette level is sick, almost feels like cheating. Imagine if they allowed a reduce complexity perchase too so that it was only mega gengar and bannette, sick sick sick, it would run for a week!

Marek, that was the original final stage for the main section, ya it is tough. I haven't played it in ages but still need to S rank it eventually. Enjoy!

My middle son is 6 and autistic, nonverbal. I put him to bed tonight, and heard his brother (4) talking excitedly and checked on them 2 min. later. He had pushed his substantial bed across the room, used it to get at their basement window, unlatch it hauled himself through and took off. I hit the street looking, turns out he let himself into our neighbor's house and was being returned. Sigh.

Yeah, he is talented and persistent and keeps us on our toes. Scares us at times, great at opening things or taking them apart. Very interested in anything electrical, and can improvise a screwdriver out of many things. Back to thread topic: I burned 25k coins today (actually more but I earned some back) but S ranked Gengar, Mega Gengar and Mega Mewtwo for the effort. 3 down 8 to go.

Make that 4 down, 7 to go. I finally caught Drilbur, took way too long. Marek all I can suggest is saving for boosts. I can grind about 10k a day from meowth with the (way) above method if I keep at it, and boosts are most effective together. Do you have mega Gengar? Reduce complexity is most powerful but disruption delay is huge on him and mega start helps too. +5 turns is a cheap just in case

A New Competitive Stage is live. Mega Bannette, I've never seen one go up mid week before. Still top 20k get mega stone and rest get jewel. Top scores are high already so competition continues to tighten as more players play and near completion of this game. I'd hate to be a hard core completionist in thiss game, especially if you didn't start in the first month.

One more down, only six left! Considering not taking a mega against Timburr, no matter what I pick it works against me.

Scratch one more, but my coin reserve is down to 60%.

Down to 3 left to go! Only 165 Milotic, 176 Timburr and 180 Mega Aerodactyl. Sadly, my recent attempt at Mega Aerodactyl was a debacle! I bought mega start, reduce complexity and disruption delay and still only A ranked. I'm down to 28k coin now so I won't be able to get there without a break to restock again now. The goal is in sight just not as near as I'd hoped. Timburr still befuddles me.

Yeah, mind sharing your thoughts or strategy for Timburr? Also sorry for the scrawling comment in the XXIst, I was attempting to use miverse on the busted wiiu screen so couldn't see to type and had to blind draw the words on the game pad using the tv for partial reference (doesn't show buttons or cursor except when drawing) Won't be doing that much.

He is amazing, just wish he'd start talking soon. It's the six year old I was discribing actually, here and above, but all my children are great in their own way. (7,6,4 and 11months)

Cool! New passcode: 04482045 I've never used these so don't know how to get the most out of them, but free stuff is always good right?

Thanks, I didn't know that the extra moves would help with ranking, that info alone should help alot. Thanks for the rest too, it is weird how that stage uses the un-mega-ed form of your mega as disruption, aside from the anoying pillar of blocks down the middle of the screen.

This Cole guy is unbelievable! First time I've ever seen a score over 100k, he was the leader before with 91k, he's been in the top 5 in both the previous competitions, he's not using a mega and he is using a pokemon nobody else is using in the top fives that I've seen so far. Meanwhile, I haven't been knocked out of the top 3k yet.

Don't need to worry on my account, but admins have their own way of seeing things. (P.S. Is there actually much interest in hockey in Vegas? An NHL expansion there is being considered.)

That's kinda what i figured.

Finally cleared Timburr, 2 to go. Thanks for the help, the five extra turns made the difference and mega slowbro was an improvement too.

Thank you Marek, I appreciate that. Dialga!? I haven't even heard of a level for that one in this game yet! Where is it?

There was sorta one going on my first post for world rumble a few week ago. It has slowed a bit now but the post Starts with something like 'Well I'm level 6 already ...' if you want to check it out. Tried setting up a general pokemon discussion thread in activity feed too awhile later with a title like Fluffy's own pokemon Center and a rumble shot of Fluffy Meadows but only 2 came. (Miffy was 1)

Looks like the rotating Rotoms are back. Something new too would've been nice, maybe next time.

Unlocked! Haven't tried it yet. Still in the top 4k for mega Bannette, waiting and watching, but will lose net access about 6 hours before it ends ...

I made 2 fully boosted attempts at Genesect today and couldn't even beat it, let alone catch it! Man that's a tough stage! Well back to saving up coin and leveling up my team for another go in a few days.

Yes that snorlax stage is a slugfest and endurance test, it might be good for experience training (leveling up) you pokemon though. I happen to have been blessed with a mega stone for Lucario, from that first competition this thread's initial post was about, so that is what I was using. It is still the only fighting type mega made available and that is the only type normals are weak to.

I like these little bonuses for streetpass tags, even if it is only a heart or two. Actually I got a jewel for my 200th tag not long ago too!

Over one week later, I finally caught it. Took me till my 4th boosted attempt to beat it and then 2 great balls for the catch. Caught them all once more.

Is leveling experience in this game based on damage done, turns in stage involved in or turns taken?

New Daily Pokemon are up, caught Girafig today and Mega Lucario has returned as a 20 move competitive stage with upto 30k more stones up for grabs! I'm a bit surprised that they are revisiting it so soon.

Not bad for no reduce complexity, we'll see if it's enough, but I'm not spending big coin on this one since I've already got it I'll take this week to resock my coins. I depleted them badly catching Genesect and S ranking the 10 new satges. I'm all caught up now I just need to keep up with new content. (maybe work on S ranking expert stages)

Welcome aboard Submaster. I've almost saved 50k coin again now. Some of this weeks daily pokemon are tricky to catch, today's (shuckle) has a 10% catch rate with +3 per remaining turn and only 5 turns to complete, so getting that over 20% is unlikely with out a great ball, but I don't recomend those here, just replay until caught took me 4 tries, I was expecting more than that.

Been slow here with Marek, Klim and Miffy all unable to use the accounts in this thread, at this time.
