Pokemon Shuffle General Discussion

[gali]

just downloaded this yesterday, about halfway through sweet strasse atm. anyone have fcs? mine is 74D3-B57E.

 

[pika pal]

Got Gyarados, still need to find Magikarp.

Landorus Team that's been working well for me is M-Ray + Kingdra + Palkia + high BP. Kingdra's Whirlpool procs surprisingly often to stall Disruptions, and activating it just once or twice at least helps to stop the "freeze and rock the center" from breaking combos.

If not Ray, Kingdra probably works well on a Mega Swamp team too.

 

[zero2exe]

Yay found and caught Gyarados so this safari is oficially complete for me. Now I can start farming Gold/PSBs again.


Btw is it just me or magikarp's "cheer" doesn't work well along with certain abilities? I had the Cheer boost active several times while training on ampharos but no matter how many times I tried Barrier Bash + never triggered on a 3-match

 

[JES]

Found Magikarp...only for me not to cause enough damage (I just needed one more turn!). And since I had no jewels left, there was nothing I could do. Hopefully, I'll be able to find another, and cause more damage next time.

 

[pika pal]

Alright, got Magikarp, done with the Safari. Hearts back to grinding Coins, and Coins to grinding Lando-T speed ups.

 

[Antihaxxer]

Lando level 3 I think I Will stop there i this stage so much

Oh goody, and Escalation Battle. Just when i thought I'd have time to build my coins back up after Landorus farming.

Well, so much for farming Raikou for RML's and PSB's for Gyarados competition. Wanna be ready for next week.

Any word in that mine/leak that mentions what Giratina-O has?

 

[Antihaxxer]

Yes, Sinister Power on a Ghost Type (but Ghost/Dark goes well together)

Return of Regi too !

I think I will use RML + Skill Swap on Raikou !!

 

[Antihaxxer]

Which Pokemon can use Skill Swappers? The best are probably Raikou, Suicune, Mew, Groudon and Ho-oh, Ampharos and maybe Tangrowth ... ?
This is a huge update with tons of new skill swap + new RML pokemon

Below are the current list of Pokemon that can have their Skill Swapped:

Advice to those who want to complete Mission Card #9:

DON'T

It's not Deoxys itemless, it's not Conkeldurr with Po5 only, it's Yveltal. Yveltal is a jewel trap. Let me explain why:

• The board starts with 16 Black Clouds.
• Yveltal's disruption (which is on a match) spawns one Black Cloud on the board.
• To get the 40 Black Cloud requirement, you need Yveltal to disrupt at least 24 times.
• Each time it disrupts, the disruption must fully resolve before it can disrupt again. Each disruption takes 3-4 seconds to resolve.
• What this means is that it takes a minimum of 72 seconds to disrupt 24 times.
• The given time and Time +10 means you only get 70 seconds without a jewel. Each Jewel adds 15 seconds.
• You also need to win as well.

I tried it with the two jewels I had left. I won, but did not get the mission, mostly due to bad HP management, bad seconds per disruption, and panicking. Words cannot describe how frustrated I am with myself (and the game I suppose). At least I have two opportunities to get jewels in the other two mission cards, but if you so badly want a second Skill Swapper now and not want to wait until next week for the escalation battle, I would heavily advise against it unless you have a lot of jewels, and even then, ask yourself: Is it really worth it?

I will probably complete it anyway, but this is a warning to those who have not attempted it yet, don't. If you just want the Skill Booster M and the Raise Max Level, the missions aren't too bad (Speaking of, keep Power of 5 on Mew if you have it because you need it for Conkeldurr). 22 combo can be done on any timed stage, Mega Boost on Snorlax use Rayquaza or Ampharos (no speedups for either) as mega and use two Mega Boosters and a Fighting-type, Po5's Conkeldurr is a mandatory Gengar/Mew/Slowking/Noctowl and generally needs Mega Start and M+5, Gothorita needs MS/DD/M+5 and I barely did with with Absol/three darks, Galvantula can be done with Mega Start Mega Aero + Joltik strats, Deoxys itemless is doable with full speedup Rayquaza + three SE mons (in my case, Zoroark/Sableye/Hydreigon) and staying on top of the four combo requirements. Yveltal on the other hand is an abomination of a jewel trap where you need Mega Lucario and three neutral cloud clearers and jewels and don't play like an idiot.

Well that's a pretty dirty move on the devs side, was wondering when they would actually begin pulling crap like this for this freemium game. I've been against using any kind homebrew aid on shuffle because honestly I've never felt it's needed, but if more stuff like this comes up I might just change my mind about it.

 

[pika pal]

Good to know, not touching the Yveltal mission. That's some real shit by the Devs, considering that, tricky or not, none of the other missions flat out require a Jewel. If this shit pops up on the next Mission card I'm giving up on the damn things.

 

[Antihaxxer]

Don't the Throh mission almost need a Jewel too ? I never tried the Mission Cards, there are so many events to do :(
Raikou is level 11 and damn it takes ages to level up him :D

Throh can be played around using a Moves+5 and Prank. Not quite itemless, but still doable without the premium stuff.

Yveltal is impossible without items and Jewel(s) extension to the time because of how long the animation takes to spawn the clouds and how many you need to remove.

 

[Antihaxxer]

Ok I heard that since Prank is unreliable, it was almost impossible without Jewel + items

 

[Its_A_Random]

TFW you use your last jewel on Yveltal hoping to clear the challenge and get enough Black Clouds, only to not clear it because you did not have the right Mission Card selected... >_>

Oh well. Next time. At least it's the end of the month.

 

[Antihaxxer]

Ahaha that's ... very annoying :D

 

[Zeb123]

How do I beat Roserade? That's the most annoying stage in the whole game.

 

[Antihaxxer]

Pray RNG God ... Use full items (to try to kill him + s-rank + catch him in one run and NEVER come back)
