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.

5 as far as I'm aware.

I can't beat Mega Mewtwo Y, but I'm guessing the solution here is "grinding" so I think I'm just going to call the game done.

I'm curious, have you folks bought any jewels, or are you just really good at playing every 150 minutes?

@Mop it up

The latter. I played before work, after work, before bed. Usually 15 levels min a day. I haven't spent a single cent myself. No plans to.

@Shadowlink (and anyone else who has encountered Sharpedo)

What team did you use for Sharpedo? I'm starting to wonder if team doesn't affect the likelihood of a Pokemon's appearance, as I have yet to see Sharpedo in the probably 30+ lives I've spent on the Safari Zone.

@V_s

I've only seen Sharpedo twice over the last few days, so he's pretty rare. Same goes for Cherrim. If you encounter them and get a decent catch rate on either, I higly recommend the great ball if you need it and can spare the coins.

As for my team, for the whole event I used Lucario, Scyther, and Heracross. Lucario is super effective against the Dark types and Spinda, and the bugs are super effective against both dark and grass types. Lucario's mega clearing ability works great in tandem with Heracross' s crowd control. Clear a chunk of the field, get a pile of Heracross on the table, then get a match of 4 for huge damage.

You can probably use Scizor instead of Scyther, they're the same relative power. I just had Scyther raised up a few levels more. So whichever is higher.

I've seen Cherrim about 5-6 times or so (and already caught it), but for whatever reason Sharpedo just keeps eluding me.

I also have Scyther leveled up more than Scizor, so I'll keep with him for now.

Sucked it up and used a jewel to get Carvanha. I was saving it for the next online challenge, but oh well. Now I just need Cherrim. What's the ideal team for Cherrim (assuming I ever see him again, it's been forever)
04/23/15, 12:17   
Boom, caught Cherrim with a mere 21% chance. About time I got some luck! Now I don't have to worry about that safari anymore.
04/23/15, 16:01   
I really hate the Safari Zone because you don't know which Pokemon you are battling, plus the catch rate is low too. I've only seen Cherrm once and I have yet to see Sharpedo. This low encounter and catch rate for these two Pokemon, coupled with the fact that you have to wait to play is pretty frustrating.

Speaking of which, what's a good level to have these Pokemon at?
04/24/15, 01:51   
I just got all the Pokemon in the Safari Zone. Good riddance!!!
04/24/15, 08:54   
I FINALLY, finally encountered and caught Sharpedo. I second @sirmastersephiroth's feelings at this point. Good riddance indeed.

Screw the Safari Zone!! Why do I keep playing this game, GAHHH!

Finally caught Xerneas (with a Great Ball). Only Yveltal and Mewtwo left for me to grab.
04/27/15, 02:52   
@Jargon

I caught him today too! A 6%er I think! I was so happy. So when I got to Mewtwo, I just used a Disruption Delay and -1 Complexity to get like a 53% rate. Didn't get him so I blew coins on a Great Ball for the MAX and now all I need to catch is Blaziken. Bastard... almost had him too.
04/27/15, 02:56   
@Jargon

Ha. I got Yveltal but not Xerneas. Also missing Mewtwo. Haven't even beaten him yet. I suppose I could use items, but I'm saving my coins for the next Evo Stone event just in case I need to pull a Complexity again.

Also a heads-up: Celebi just went active. I got an S-rank and a 46% catch rate on my first attempt, so I didn't bother using a great ball when I missed the capture. Hopefully I should nab him quickly.

EDIT: Ok. Now I'm annoyed. 4 wins at a 40% or better catch rate, and I still can't catch the bastard. What a dick.

Edit 2: 6 tries and counting. What in the shit. If I've done my maths right, the chances of missing 6 times at 40% is 64/15625. Bah.

@Shadowlink

I had similar bad luck but finally got him with a 55% chance.
04/27/15, 13:21   
@Jargon

I caught him on the 7th attempt.

Ridiculous.
04/27/15, 13:26   
I caught him just now on my 2nd try. First chance was 22% and the second was 52% (14 moves remained).

Glad you two nabbed Celebi!
04/27/15, 13:54   
5th attempt for me, but I didn't have to use a Great Ball!

Looks like Pinsir will be coming up soon judging by the silhouette in the Pokemon list that follows Celebi.

What is the best way to play the game? I actually really like it for some reason but I'm not sure wheree efforts are best directed at.
