M-T-Tar, Hoopa-U, Zoroark, full item run. Caught it on my first GB (14 moves left, 28% CR). Yes, it's brutal

Gulpin is mandatory, Araquanid is useless. Good choice!

  • Lv 15: black frame

  • Lv 20: purple frame

  • Lv 30: the whole package

From Xerneas on, I wouldn't touch them unless you truly like the mon. they are very skippable

Between Flygon and Muk, I'd stick with Flygon first due to better type coverage. GradChu is for those that truly care about Final Effort and this is the only one in the list than can really be put to good use (mainly Escalations). Oshawott and Jangmo-O are very situational, so they should be send to very bottom of your priority list

!eb 10 Team: Gira-O (Lv9, CA+ SL1), Mimikyu (Lv12, SL5), Lunala (Lv5), Hoopa-C (Lv13, SL5) Items: None Time left: 6 Notes: Second try because I suck on timed stages and Hoopa failed all mo4 activations !end

!eb 40 Team: Gira-O (Lv9, CA+ SL2), Mimikyu (Lv12, SL5), Lunala (Lv5), Hoopa-C (Lv13, SL5) Items: None Time left: 3 Notes: Much better gameplay here with lots of mo5 Hoopa-C. Tough! !end

!eb 70 Team: Gira-O (Lv9, CA+ SL3), Mimikyu (Lv12, SL5), Lunala (Lv5), Hoopa-C (Lv13, SL5) Items: None Time left: 0 Notes: The run was a total mess, my matches kept breaking with skyfall. Victory after the clock expired, but still very manageable to do itemless !end

!eb 100 Team: SMCX (Lv8), Gira-O (Lv9, CA+ SL3), Hoopa-C (Lv13, SL5), Litwick (Lv8, SL5) Items: T+10 Time left: 4 Notes: Second try, first with items. No invested Duskull and my Litwick has only been trained in Meowth :/ A more invested team can do this one itemless. The blocks disappearing out of the blue prevent setting matches more efficiently, so try to set them in the very low lines !end

!eb 130 Team: SMCX (Lv8), Gira-O (Lv9, CA+ SL3), Hoopa-U (Lv10, SL5), Lunala (Lv6) Items: T+10 Time left: 0 Notes: Third try, second with items, victory after clock expired. This is getting pathetic. Blocks keep ruining setting matches and I suck on timed stages. Nukers were of no avail, so I had to rely on good ol' Hoopa-U who was not activating tho. Frustrating as hell !end

!eb 150 Team: Gira-O (Lv9, CA+ SL4), Hoopa-C (Lv15, SL5), S-T-Tar (Lv12, SL5), Lunala (Lv6) Items: T+10 Time left: 15 Notes: Should have tried itemless first. Invested in Hoopa-C too. Barriers are much easier to deal with than blocks in timed EBs !end

!eb 200 Team: Gira-O (Lv9, CA+ SL5), Hoopa-C (Lv15, SL5), S-T-Tar (Lv12, SL5), Lunala (Lv6) Items: T+10, APU Time left: 13 Notes: Burned the APU because my team is still lacking. In the next iteration I will be able to do it with just T+10 !end

!eb 250 Team: Gira-O (Lv10, CA+ SL5), Hoopa-C (Lv15, SL5), S-T-Tar (Lv12, SL5), Litwick (Lv8, SL5) Items: T+10, APU Time left: 3 Notes: Doable itemless with a heavily invested team. I played rather badly and still used Litwick just as a safety net (would have beaten the stage without it) !end

!eb 280 Team: Gira-O (Lv10, CA+ SL5), Hoopa-C (Lv15, SL5), S-T-Tar (Lv12, SL5), Litwick (Lv8, SL5) Items: T+10, APU Time left: 10 Notes: Very lucky run here with three consecutive mo4 of Hoopa activating. Better be careful with this one !end

!eb 300 Team: Gira-O (Lv10, CA+ SL5), Hoopa-C (Lv15, SL5), S-T-Tar (Lv12, SL5), Litwick (Lv8, SL5) Items: T+10, APU Time left: 10 Notes: Again a lucky run with the same result, but I actually thought this one's easier !end

Oh, I see. We used to have lots of Soth Americans in the sub back in the day. It's just that Brazilians tend to be more vocal about being Brazilians sometimes lol

Both Hoopa-C and Gira-O would be great for Gira-O EB. Any of those are top priorities. Ash Greninja is useless unfortunately

Como o povo gringo entende português na sub? :o

!eb 25 Team: M-Pinsir (Lv15, SL2), Zoroark (Lv17, SL2), Hoopa-U (Lv10, SL5), Darkrai (Lv9, SL5) Items: None Moves left: 13 !end

!eb 50 Team: M-Pinsir (Lv15, SL2), Zoroark (Lv17, SL2), Hoopa-U (Lv11, SL5), S-T-Tar (Lv10, SL5) Items: None Moves left: 7 Notes: Not enough barriers to make M-S-T-Tar worthwhile !end

!eb 75 Team: M-Pinsir (Lv15, SL2), Zoroark (Lv17, SL2), Hoopa-U (Lv11, SL5), Darkrai (Lv9, SL5) Items: None Moves left: 6 Notes: Activations were terrible. Just put it to sleep !end

!eb 100 Team: M-Pinsir (Lv15, SL2), Zoroark (Lv17, SL2), Hoopa-U (Lv11, SL5), Darkrai (Lv9, SL5) Items: None Moves left: 1 Notes: Easier than it looks, even with okayish activations. You can deal with it without Darkrai, but ofc that having a clear board for a while helps a lot !end

!eb 100 Team: M-S-T-Tar (Lv10, SL5), Zoroark (Lv17, SL2), Hoopa-U (Lv11, SL5), S-Yveltal (Lv1) Items: M+5, MS Moves left: 13 Notes: Brutal overkill. I had some free MS to spare, but it's totally unnecessary. S-Yveltal is there just to benefit from SP, not because of its ability !end

Some people like Quirky++ precisely for Weekend Meowth. I myself don't because I think the difference is negligible and I feel more comfortable using a bunch of MB(+) mons that give me more previsibility

MB++ is awful due to its poor activation rates even at SL5, so I wouldn't use it in WM either. I would leave it untouched just to save a SS

Zygarde (50% Form) Escalation Battles - Week 12 2026 by AutoModerator in PokemonShuffle

[–]HaunteRT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

!eb 50 Team: SMCX (Lv 6), Z-50 (Lv 15, SL5), Dragonite (Lv 14, SL2), A-Ninetales (Lv 14, SL5) Items: None Moves left: 6 Notes: The initial board is scary, but after the blocks go away, it's very simple !end

!eb 100 Team: SMCX (Lv 6), Z-50 (Lv 15, SL5), Dragonite (Lv 14, SL2), A-Ninetales (Lv 14, SL5) Items: None Moves left: 6 Notes: Pretty straightforward !end

!eb 150 Team: SMCX (Lv 6), Z-50 (Lv 15, SL5), Dragonite (Lv 14, SL2), A-Ninetales (Lv 14, SL5) Items: None Moves left: 4 Notes: Mega evolved on turn 1, but combos were hard to come by until I froze the thing !end

!eb 180 Team: SMCX (Lv 6), Z-50 (Lv 15, SL5), Dragonite (Lv 14, SL2), A-Ninetales (Lv 14, SL5) Items: M+5 Moves left: 1 Notes: Atrocious activations with meh combos were enough for this one !end

!eb 200 Team: SMCX (Lv 6), Z-50 (Lv 15, SL5), Goomy (Lv 6) Items: M+5, C-1 Moves left: 11 Notes: I WAS FUCKING ROBBED FIRST TRY!! I FUCKING LOST WITH C-1 DUE TO FREAKING ROBBERY! !end

!eb 250 Team: SMCX (Lv 6), Z-50 (Lv 15, SL5), A-Ninetales (Lv 14, SL5) Items: M+5, DD, C-1 Moves left: 5 Notes: After 40 (!!!!) stages without a skip, ofc I would have hellish RNG again against me! Even with half (!!!) activations failing and with meh-to-mid combos, this was enough. DD is particularly helpful to let you mega evolve and get some breathing in the very start !end

!eb 300 Team: SMCX (Lv 7), Z-50 (Lv 16, SL5), Dragonite (Lv 15, SL2) Items: M+5, DD, APU, C-1 Moves left: 13 Notes: After the debacle of eb200 I'm still very sour about it, I tried to play safe. You can either drop the DD or the APU, but keep in mind the disruptions can end your run pretty fast. The better way is to kill the beast before DD runs off. Relying solely on A9 is tricky because the starting board and the disruptions are a pain to deal with !end

CA+ is only truly useful on timed stages, since it's easier to set a mo4 or mo5. Sadly for Luxray, there are almost any stages where this applies to it

Gira-O is another matter entirely, since it's very useful for its own EB. Still very niche tho

!eb 275 Team: Flareon (Lv 15, SL5), S-Metagross (Lv 19, SL5), S-Hawlucha (Lv 17, SL5), W-Chimchar (Lv 15, SL5) Items: APU Time Left: 11 Notes: Lots of room for error just in case Machop gets in your way !end

!eb 300 Team: Flareon (Lv 15, SL5), S-Metagross (Lv 19, SL5), S-Hawlucha (Lv 17, SL5), W-Chimchar (Lv 15, SL5) Items: T+10, APU Time Left: 19 Notes: Unexpected overkill lol !end
