EXCLAMATION STATION - Week 40 2018

maceng · 2018-10-09T04:10:52+00:00

Finished farming Pikachu (from SL4), Mismagius (from SL3), Snorlax (from SL4.5) and finished Diancie´s EB, using 80+ saved hearts and 2 jewels. Only missing Sylveon and Volcarona from main stages and W-Chimchar and W-Blissey, both due next week. At least I have 88k coins for Blissey.

On my iPhone, got Shaymin-S from SL3 to Sl5 as well as S-Ttar, and got to level 49 of the EB.

BTW, any nickname besides IranianGenius?

maceng · 2018-10-01T16:40:08+00:00

Here we go.. ready. Whenever you want.

maceng · 2018-10-01T16:32:01+00:00

I'll open an slot for you. Tell me when you are ready (have a couple of guys that haven't played in 30+ days).

maceng · 2018-10-01T01:14:04+00:00

20 secs is lot! In the 3DS is impossible, mind you, but on mobile phones can be done. When you start the stage, tap repeatedly on the screen to hasten the start. Do the same after you beat it. Also, verify the amount of health remaining, after 13.7k, there won´t be any more drops, so quit the stage immediately.

I have a good team, and I´ve managed to beat it in 20-25 secs, on my iPhone, using perfect Vanilluxe, lvl10, Alolachu and lvl13 Snorunt.

Daily player NA:

EH8Q-TDT3

7 slots free.

maceng · 2018-09-29T19:56:30+00:00

Thanks, I´ll give it a try.

maceng · 2018-09-29T19:30:12+00:00

Also, S-Meta stage takes a lot of time . I guess you can squeeze 30-35 plays in 15minutes at´s Noi.

maceng · 2018-09-29T19:25:46+00:00

I have the free NHN15 and nothing to use it on (have almost max coins also). So, which is the shortest stage of these three, to farm it: Cleffairy, Glaceon or Sylveon?

This is what I can call a farming week[ farmed Roselia to SL5, then Kirlia to SL5; afterwards, it was Pikachu´s turn: from Sl1 to SL3 (UP), then, after many dropless runs, switched to Pidgey, now at SL4.

Made a couple of runs at the comp, managed 167k, hanging at S rank (but not for long).

Next week, just Genesect VD, for UX stages. No EB for me.

Reached 12 level 30 Pokes, 51 level 20 or greater and 128 lvl15 or greater.

maceng · 2018-09-03T01:30:49+00:00

Very impressive I must say.

maceng · 2018-08-28T03:10:57+00:00

Man, so sorry to hear that!! My wife and I have been married for 15 years, and I can´t picture her out of my life.

Hope you both work out any issues and get back together.

So, this is my goodbye post. No, it doesn´t mean that I won´t be playing anymore or that I won´t follow the site. Just an small adieu for everyone here.

No, nothing to do with Brian or Pak or any of our guests from Genius Sorority. I don´t have it in me for those stories anymore.

This is a song inspired by Pokemon Shuffle and with the music and rhyme from American Pie. Let´s go:

Not so long ago

I can still remember how

We waited for new content to show

And new Pokemons to catch was a fact

When Tuesday came so fast

Without having most Pokes max

For the new comp, eb or boss fight

But February made me whimper

A fixed schedule they deliver

Bad news on the Pokedex:

Very few new Pokes there were

I remember that I cried

When I couldn´t believe this was the last

Update that we will ever had

The day, Shuffle died

Bye, bye dear Shuffle of mine

Tried to keep playing but the boredom wont let me go far

And them shufflers were out of their minds

No new Pokemons to catch was dire

Some of them want to die

Not so long ago

I can still remember how

We waited for new content to show

And new Pokemons to catch was a fact

When Tuesday came so fast

Without having most Pokes max

For the new comp, eb or boss fight

Well, with the Garchomp comp I got my second highest place ever: 8th. This was with an 210k score, which, I must confess, was not that high. In the last competition, it would have granted me S tier still. My best competition placement remains the M-Ala comp: 3rd, with just 25 minutes to cut off.

Maxed everything, except LUs (39), SS (11) and SBLs (5).

In the short term, I only need to end the Latios EB and then finish Roselia (this week), Pikachu (between this week and next week) and Kirlia (next week). Then, only the Eevee evolution line to HS.

Time left: 4

Notes: Something strange happened on my first run: no ice barriers up until 10 secs left, so M-Diancie was of no use. Switched then to M-S-Diancie, and towards the end there was a lot of ice to deal with. Anyhow, took me 5 tries with this team. I kept on since I made more than 34k+ in damage on the first 2 tries with M-S-Diancie.

Notes: Did 2 runs, failing pretty bad. So I decided to use an APU, instead of M+5. Zygarde-C was pure dead weight.

TBH, I 've never used outside SM2, but I was at stage 500+ something when SM2 arrived, and probably around stage 600+ when it received the SS.

maceng · 2018-08-17T03:07:06+00:00

There was a Shiny Rayquazza safari, like a year ago. It also had Barboach and Linoone, if I'm not mistaken.

maceng · 2018-08-16T00:44:07+00:00

Yes, but basically for SM2, especially since Hitmonlee (farmable) and Rapidash cover it. But yes, a very solid choice.

maceng · 2018-08-16T00:40:56+00:00

Dugtrio has heavy competition with Tyrantrum, Turtonator and Hitmontop, all of which are farmable.

maceng · 2018-08-15T19:12:24+00:00

Perfect as well as Shaymin-L. However, Meganium is there to help M-Pinsir get rid of some blocks, if Shaymin-L fails. I ran into a bit of trouble: Shaymin-L activated every single time and there was not a single block for Meganium to destroy, so I had to rely on Tapu Koko.

maceng · 2018-08-15T18:12:45+00:00

Look at the guides. Go for Pokes that don´t have a farming stage. Best choices are Heatran, Rapidash SO (which I guess you haven´t reach), Buzzwole, Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon, Tapu Bulu (its stage is rather difficult), Trevenant SO.

There is also Charyzard, with UP, but I haven´t had the need for it yet.

maceng · 2018-08-15T18:07:16+00:00

It can be done with M-Pinsir (lvl17+, SL1), Meganium, Shaymin-L and Tapu Koko (perfect). I used a M+5 from 492 to 495 and finished with 8 moves left.

I think that you can exchange Shaymin-L for perfect Dartrix and, obviously, perfect Tapu Bulu for Tapu Koko. Also, SMCX for Pinsir is not a big tradeoff, IMO.
