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.

Congrats! Every fortune starts with your first Meowth win

90K coins here. I'm going to stop now. No filthy 9's at the end of MY coin total!

Big Meowth tomorrow for about 5K or so, and then my Complexity run at the competition. (I just got dropped out of the top 3K. Sigh)

I just checked, my current place in the competition is 12,157. Only two days left. I think I need to place in the top 40,000, but wasn't there other goodies for placing lower? I forget.

Anyways, I hope I'm good where I'm placed.

edit: Oh yea, the there is the Mega Start and Mega Speed Up. hmmmm....I don't really care if I win those. Not worth wasting my time on those.

We had such similar scores that I was using your posts to monitor whether I was still in line for the Speedup. Guess I'll have to check on my own.

Did you use just a complexity or also an attack up and disruption delay?

@Jargon

Yeah, I threw everything at it.
07/05/15, 06:50

Done and done.

Getting even better at grinding for coins. Usually, I can acheive 500 coins about 3 times out of a 5 heart run. The other couple times I settle for just 300 coins(4 coins in a row), cause U either need to make sure I complete the stage or I'M at a point where its just not possible to line up 5 coins. I'm pretty happy with how quick I've seemed to master the technique. I've been using Lucario as my main pokemon, then grovyle, nidoran and I think the bird's name is taillow, he has a red face, yellow beak and blue hair. I might be wrong on the name. I read where using Lucario was good, as long as his level isn't too high. I think he is around a level 4 or 5. The others are level 3 or lower.

Once I build up my coins, I'll focus on leveling up some weaker pokemon. I found out it is good to battle against, Ampharos, since you have 50 moves to defeat him, you can usually build up a pokemon 2 or 3 levels in one turn. Not too shabby.

Current ranking, 75th.

I've dropped 7 places in the last 8 hours! Eep!

...I mean .

You can't beat me Europe. Give it up.

I finally fell out of the top 6000 so I went ahead and used all the items. Safely in the top 500 out of 100,000.

I know it would go against Nintendo's goals of getting people to buy jewels, but I wish they didn't allow items in these competitions. The fun for me was trying to get into the money by practicing and getting better. With these new tiers, I don't have any show without buying items and therefore that fun is basically gone. Shame.

Some bad Great Ball luck, but all the new Specials are caught on my end.
07/06/15, 09:27   
Do we have new main stages? We should if the established pattern is being followed. I guess I'll find out in an hour.

We should have a new mega at the end of that too if we're lucky.
07/06/15, 09:51   
@Shadowlink

They kind of went all out on this one. Two new Specials, new Daily Pokemon, AND new main stages.
07/06/15, 10:12   
So it turns out Manectric is basically just a less powerful version of Ampharos. That's a bummer.

@V_s

I haven't gotten to the end of the main stages yet but I'm assuming there's also a new Mega Pokemon to play at the end to get a Stone.

Yup: Mega Heracross. Our first Mega Bug Pokemon, I believe.

@Jargon

Zweet. I've been leveling Heracross up randomly already. That stone will go nicely.
07/06/15, 17:45   
Was prepared to scream "BULLSHIT" on the return of the 'once a day' gimmick with Jirachi. But I nailed him first go with a 19% catch rate. Lucky.

(It's still bullshit though )

Caught Tepig and the daily. Worked through the new stages. Dropped a Mega Start & +5 on the Mega. Already have him leveled to Max via Meowth, so that's nice.


Got a couple of S-ranks first go. Got a few more with a handful of +5's. Still need to catch 2 or 3 mons.

85K or so in the bank. Will probably drop some more items in search of S-ranks, but I want to be efficient with it.
07/07/15, 01:38   
I've managed to catch everything in the game now except for Greninja, and six of the new ones. And I've S-ranked everything in the Main game outside of seven of the new ones (and I haven't yet beaten the Mega).

I have spent way too many coins getting those last few S-ranks before today's update, so I will probably be spending the next couple of days just Meowth grinding (and catching the new dailies) before going back to the new levels.
07/07/15, 01:54   
All new Pokemon caught. Didn't have to use any items (but got some good luck). 8 Pokemon to S rank, including Mega Heracross which will probably require a Complexity -1 thanks to Mega Aerodactyl's general suckiness.

Sadly none of the Pokemon I have to S-rank are weak against Bug so I don't have a chance to use my new Mega yet.
07/07/15, 03:08   
Everything is caught thanks to some items and great balls. Avalugg, Excadrill, and the Mega to S-rank. All three are a pain- Unless anyone has a killer strat, I think you need both DD and +5 for the first two (and a pile of combo luck), and probably need to go all out on the Mega.

60K coins in the bank. Might grind up a little first- There's no new EX levels yet, so there's no rush.

Shit, I forgot to do yesterday's Daily Pokemon. I'll get another chance next Wednesday right?

@Jargon

Yeh, it runs for two weeks.
