Pokemon Shuffle on the 3DS
7.79/10 from 7 user ratings

Welcome to the official discussion thread for Pokemon Shuffle on the 3DS!

To start, please add this game to your log, add it to your collection (if applicable), and (when you are ready) rate it using the link above!
So, how are you liking this game? I think it's fun. I'm playing it in small doses. I'm on battle 42 of about 159 (for now). I already got the Mew from a special event, too. I haven't captured all the pokemon I have battled. I'm focusing on moving forward and then coming back to catch them all. I AM making exceptions for those pokemon I can actually Mega Evolve.

By the way, how does this game compare to Pokemon Trozei? I haven't played that one.

Yeah, I think you should be good unless a bunch of people decide to use bonuses last minute.

Rather perturbed to find out that the PAL territories only got 10k stones instead of the 20k from last time. But I caught the 'required' 'mons for a high score and took a crack anyway. Got about 13k early on, which got me to about 4000 rank. Not bad. That started to drop though so I kept going. Fluked a score of 15500 or so which put me in the top 2k around Wednesday. I dropped again but very slowly-still in the top 6k by Saturday.

Despite all attempts I couldn't touch my score and over the weekend the drop has accelerated. Checked 3 hours before the end, and sure enough I've been bumped out of the winner's circle. Screw this. Trump card time. Complexity -1 played, Disruption Delay played... :

Score: 25,815
Ranking: 250/112783

I've got a big middle finger raised and I'm aiming it at you Europe.

Europe has the smallest range indeed, but weirdly Japan gets 50,000. I want to see how many people in that region compete. So far for us the top earners have to be in the top 8 or 9 percent.

As expected, I'm now out of the money. Looks like I'll get 5 more tries before time runs out. Not feeling confident.

Edit: Sigh. Is it just me or does Ampharos's special power make it much harder to make matches. Frustrating.

Edit 2: Well I just rose to 18,824 with 40 minutes left. I predict heartbreak.

Agreed. I've actually Max'd out Slowbro's level, so I used him for a couple of tries and got fairly good scores (his special ability is much easier to combo with, IMO), but it just wasn't enough. I couldn't get new Slowbro icons to respawn fast enough to beat out my Ampharos scores.

@Jargon

If you have any jewels, cash them in and buy a complexity.
04/13/15, 07:36   
@V_s

I figured as much. I accidentally did a round using Gengar and I couldn't muster anything close to a respectable score.

@Shadowlink

No jewels I'm afraid. The server is really sluggish right now with 15 minutes to go. Probably means lots of people are trying to get into the top 20K.
04/13/15, 07:43   
Well with 8 minutes to go I still had about a 500 person buffer to keep me in the top 20K. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be a way to check it now that time has run out so I guess I'll find out tomorrow whether I hung on.

@Jargon

Do the check in for today, it should tell you. I just got my stone.

255th overall across two continents. Not too shabby!
04/13/15, 10:53   
I'm very eager to see what happened to Jargon!

I woke up this morning happily! I won my stone! Didn't dip under the top 15,000. Coolio. Plus I didn't use a complexity and eat up 9,000 coins.

@DrFinkelstein

Lucky. I thought my score would have been enough to keep me away from that expense, but alas, no.

It's alright. Probably got a few weeks to save up for the next one. Snared 3K coins from beating Groudon, so we're on our way.
04/13/15, 13:21   
I ranked 2,335 overall and got my Blastoisinite!

I too am wondering if @Jargon got his.
04/13/15, 23:18   
I think I ended up ranking 1,244 overall (maybe it was 1288... It was 12XX, whatever it was), so I got a stone as well. I caught Groudon (had to use two Great Balls ), and I've beaten the first new stage. (I S-ranked it, but couldn't catch the guy even at 80%!)

Oh well. At the very least, that's one less S-rank I have to do to unlock Mewtwo. I don't know what I'm going to do when the game adds more Expert stages...

EDIT: I spoke too soon. EX21 is now active according to Serebii.net, and it unlocks after S-ranking all 180 normal stages.

Ranked #19620! w00t.

Hell yes!

@Jargon

Congrats! Glad to see you got one too.

Played up to Level 175 and judging by the shadow of Level 180 it looks like we'll be getting another Mega Stone. Not sure which Pokemon though from the silhouette.

@DrFinkelstein@V_s

Thanks guys!

@Jargon

Thought it might have been Charizard, but just unlocked it: Mega Aerodactyl.
04/14/15, 11:53   
@Shadowlink

Is he obtainable? Maybe a new unlockable expert?
04/14/15, 12:11   
@Jargon

Base Aerodactyl? Level 104.
