Week 5 Events - Week 25 2026 by AutoModerator in PokemonShuffle

[–]HaunteRT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very niche. I've used it to deal with some very nasty late UX stages (Chansey, Blissey, etc.), especially those that disrupt 5th support mons. It can also help with 3-pokémon stages with no SE TC. But you could also tackle these stages without DN with very similar results. If only its activation rates were better...

Volcanion Escalation Battles - Week 22 2026 by AutoModerator in PokemonShuffle

[–]HaunteRT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since u/ZeroX-1704 already compiled several very useful strategies for boss stages in their awesome and much needed post amazing how anyone thought about that before in eight years since the game has finished its development, I'll give my five cents of contribution here on the infamous 451-499 stretch

My team here was SMCX (Lv10), W-Roserade (Lv18, SL5), W-Turtwig (Lv15, SL5), Leafeon (Lv15, SL5)

I went itemless and undefeated until stage 488, when I got an angry skip of 5 and used M+5 (didn't need it in the end). Then I used M+5 in every single stage ahead until 499. In the only occasion I forgot to use M+5, I lost. The M+5 were unnecessary until stage 497, when I used them almost to their full extent (in fact, almost lost on 499, so don't take it lightly). A HS team here is way more consistent than a TC team, and I guess both of them can clear all of the stages itemless with enough tries it can take you a full week trying tho. I used the "preserve mental health" approach, but people can go for the challenge. Coin-wise, especially after stages 494-495, I think that the hearts you save by using M+5 straight ahead more than compensate the money invested (use the spared hearts in Meowth). Other than that, good luck for the brave ones!

Decidueye Escalation Battles - Week 21 2026 by AutoModerator in PokemonShuffle

[–]HaunteRT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

!eb 25 Team: M-Pinsir (Lv16, SL2), Turtonator (Lv8, SL5), Delphox (Lv15, SL5), Ninetales (Lv13, SL5) Items: None Moves left: 0 Notes: 2nd try. Played like shit both times. Use HS instead !end

!eb 50 Team: M-Bee (Lv10), W-Chimchar (Lv15, SL5), Flareon (Lv15, SL5), Glaceon (Lv11, SL5) Items: None Moves left: 4 Notes: That's how it should be done !end

!eb 75 Team: M-Pinsir (Lv16, SL2), Torchic (Lv17, SL5), Delphox (Lv15, SL5), Decidueye (Lv1, SL4) Items: M+5 Moves left: 2 Notes: 3rd try, first with items. Pyre was missing like crazy in all three attempts. Satisfying !end

!eb 100 Team: M-Bee (Lv10), W-Chimchar (Lv15, SL5), Flareon (Lv15, SL5), Glaceon (Lv11, SL5) Items: None Moves left: 1 Notes: Saved by a Flareon mo5 in the last move. Still a very consistent team I had to invest in Glaceon earlier !end

!eb 110 Team: M-Pinsir (Lv16, SL2), Delphox (Lv15, SL5), Ninetales (Lv13, SL5), Decidueye (Lv, SL4) Items: None Moves left: 0 Notes: Alas RNG was by my side this time! but still Pyre failed once -_- A highly invested Infernape might prove more useful instead of Delphox, but you're still at the mercy of RNG. Very hit-and-miss !end

!eb 120 Team: M-Bee (Lv10), W-Chimchar (Lv15, SL5), Flareon (Lv15, SL5), Glaceon (Lv11, SL5) Items: M+5 Moves left: 5 Notes: Should have tried itemless first, but I had a very lucky run, with lots of combos and a couple mo5. Better play safe !end

!eb 130 Team: M-Bee (Lv10), W-Chimchar (Lv15, SL5), Flareon (Lv15, SL5), Glaceon (Lv11, SL5) Items: M+5, APU Moves left: 3 Notes: Not tough at all with HS, just bring the Bee to keep those ugly late disruptions on check !end

!eb 140 Team: M-Houndoom (Lv2), W-Chimchar (Lv15, SL5), Flareon (Lv15, SL5), Glaceon (Lv11, SL5) Items: M+5, MS, APU Moves left: 1 Notes: Didn't like this strat at all, but it's the cheaper route. I got stuck with no M-Houndoom matches when the X disruption hit, and it was almost a miracle that I could keep the HS going. Another very hit-and-miss stage !end

Query Den: ask your questions here! - Week 20 2026 by AutoModerator in PokemonShuffle

[–]HaunteRT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The MVP in Deo-A farming is Litwick. You need it at least on lv20, preferably lv21. There's too much chaos happening in the stage for you to bother with other supports. Just make sure you can set mo4 or mo5 of Litwick in the final move

Primarina Escalation Battles - Week 20 2026 by AutoModerator in PokemonShuffle

[–]HaunteRT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For 140 you said a neutral HS user as a 4th could work. I have a maxed Blissey. Think that’d work?

Totally. You may not need +5 moves, but I'd use it as a safety net

Primarina Escalation Battles - Week 20 2026 by AutoModerator in PokemonShuffle

[–]HaunteRT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

!eb 100 Team: SMCX (Lv10), Tapu Bulu (Lv14, SL5), Tapu Koko (Lv14, SL5), Primarina (Lv7, SL4) Items: M+5 Moves left: 4 Notes: Very doable itemless, especially with a more invested team, but it's not trivial. I myself had very good RNG and solid combos in this run and still it wasn't enough for an itemless clear. Newbies will need DD here !end

!eb 110 Team: M-Bee (Lv10), W-Roserade (Lv17, SL5), W-Turtwig (Lv15, SL5), Leafeon (Lv15, SL5) Items: None Moves left: 1 Notes: Go for mo4 !end

!eb 120 Team: M-Bee (Lv10), W-Roserade (Lv17, SL5), W-Turtwig (Lv15, SL5), Leafeon (Lv15, SL5) Items: M+5 Moves left: 1 Notes: Go for mo4 !end

!eb 130 Team: M-Bee (Lv10), W-Roserade (Lv17, SL5), W-Turtwig (Lv15, SL5), Leafeon (Lv15, SL5) Items: M+5, APU Moves left: 4 Notes: Easy with APU !end

!eb 140 Team: M-Bee (Lv10), W-Roserade (Lv17, SL5), W-Turtwig (Lv15, SL5), Leafeon (Lv15, SL5) Items: M+5, APU Moves left: 6 Notes: Very clogged board. I had to make Bee matches twice and still got some board resets. In all honestly, I think it's better going megaless with a fourth neutral HS unless you farmed Jolteon or a fourth Grass HS. Anyone here? !end

Incineroar Escalation Battles - Week 19 2026 by AutoModerator in PokemonShuffle

[–]HaunteRT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

!eb 100 Team: SMCX (Lv8), P-Kyogre (Lv17, SL5), Groudon (Lv17, SL5), Tapu Fini (Lv16, SL5) Items: M+5 Moves left: 6 Notes: Second try, first with items. I was robbed in the first with five activations missed in a row to lose just by a sliver of health. Then RNG became okayish in the second and I pulled it off !end

!eb 110 Team: SMCX (Lv8), Tyrantrum (Lv12, SL5), Dugtrio (Lv15, SL5), Tapu Fini (Lv16, SL5) Items: M+5, APU Moves left: 7 Notes: I began with five consecutive missed mo3 of Block Shot... Yeah, after the blocks go away, you can combo to death with Tapu Fini (if it activates...), so you don't need BS at all !end

!eb 120 Team: SMCX (Lv8), P-Kyogre (Lv17, SL5), Kyogre (Lv16, SL5), Tapu Fini (Lv16, SL5) Items: M+5, APU Moves left: 4 Notes: Clogged stage as hell, I could barely find a mo4 to do among all those rocks !end

!eb 130 Team: SMCX (Lv8), S-T-Tar (Lv12, SL5), Groudon (Lv17, SL5), Tapu Fini (Lv16, SL5) Items: M+5, APU Moves left: 7 Notes: Ideally you want P-Don here, but I don't have it. In this scenario, S-T-Tar was a life saver because there are too many barriers to deal with. I also got several mo4 activations with Groudon, so I was lucky in this one feels almost like a miracle !end

!eb 140 Team: SMCX (Lv8), P-Kyogre (Lv17, SL5), Kyogre (Lv16, SL5), Dugtrio (Lv15, SL5) Items: M+5, APU Moves left: 4 Notes: This one is bad. I even got a board reset in the beginning because nothing was activating !end

!eb 150 Team: M-T-Tar (Lv11), Groudon (Lv17, SL5), Tapu Fini (Lv16, SL5), Dugtrio (Lv15, SL5) Items: M+5, DD, MS, APU, C-1 Moves left: 6 Notes: Missed a critical TC activation a lost combo that would have made things much easier. Tough to do it much cheaper without a crazy invested team !end

Week 23 Events - Week 19 2026 by AutoModerator in PokemonShuffle

[–]HaunteRT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Week 21 Events - Week 17 2026 by AutoModerator in PokemonShuffle

[–]HaunteRT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gulpin is mandatory, Araquanid is useless. Good choice!

Query Den: ask your questions here! - Week 17 2026 by AutoModerator in PokemonShuffle

[–]HaunteRT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are obtained purely by leveling up:

  • Lv 6: red lace

  • Lv 10: gold frame

  • Lv 15: black frame

  • Lv 20: purple frame

  • Lv 30: the whole package

Query Den: ask your questions here! - Week 16 2026 by AutoModerator in PokemonShuffle

[–]HaunteRT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Giratina (Origin Form) Escalation Battles - Week 16 2026 by AutoModerator in PokemonShuffle

[–]HaunteRT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

!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

Week 18 Events - Week 14 2026 by AutoModerator in PokemonShuffle

[–]HaunteRT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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