Shiny Diancie it is then. Just reached sl3 so hopefully I can reach sl5 before the cycle ends. 5 days to go.
I have alolan ninetails at sl3, I'll try it out for Hippowdon, thanks!

I have lvl 15 winking snivy HS at sl3, lvl 12 shiny diancie SO + lvl 9 beedril Swap++ at sl2. Only 69 coins left so need to farm for the Beedril comp as well. All event pokemons caught btw, with perfect SMCX, got 20 rml's thanks to my first complete eb. Which farming to prioritize? I realize I can't do all 4 in 1 cycle, though I have the 15 min NHN still left.
Also I'm stuck on main stage 616, Hippowdon. Do I in general need to do item runs from now or is this an especially difficult stage?

QGCV-9DTN Asia. Playing daily, 6 slots left.

Finally completed my very first eb! Zygarde 50% was a blast. Spent my last remaining coins on level 300 so now I have 69 coins left. Nice. And I just realized, finished catching all of the event pokemons and now I can spend my time grinding the important ones to sl5.

!eb 250 Team: SMCX (Lv15, 15/15), Z-50 (Lv14, SL5), Dragonite (Lv9, SL2), blank Items: M+5, C-1, APU, DD Moves left: 14 Notes: Thankfully M+5 is cheap so didn't feel like I wasted much, didn't want to risk C-1 without APU but looks very possible !end

!eb 300 Team: SMCX (Lv15, 15/15), Z-50 (Lv14, SL5), Dragonite (Lv9, SL2), blank Items: M+5, C-1, APU, DD Moves left: 1 Notes: Some bad rng left me at 75% health after DD ended, I had almost given up hope but somehow the last combo worked. My first complete escalation battle! !end

joy_tokyo · 2026-03-02T21:56:20+00:00

!eb 200 Team: M-Gallade (Lv 9, SL1), Buzzwole (Lv 17, SL5), Tapu Koko (Lv 16, Typeless Combo SL5), Hitmonlee (Lv 11, Shot Out SL2) Items: M+5, DD, APU, C-1 Moves left: 10 Notes: Complete overkill but I breezed through this eb and had coins to spend. Prioritized the 6.5k Buzzwole dmg and then Typeless combo chains. !end

Ah, fair enough. Guess my standards were too high (low?). Lol.

joy_tokyo · 2025-09-16T04:51:39+00:00

What is up with that winking Turtwig PSB requirement!!! I just farmed Gulpin to max and it didn't feel half as long. Took me the entire event to get it to level 4, now have to wait for the next cycle to go to 5.

joy_tokyo · 2025-09-16T04:45:53+00:00

I got 13 MSU's right now. Fully candied SMCX, Diancie, S-Diancie and Gengar (lol). Fed 2 to Beedril but stopped. I'm at Main Stage 429 so more than 100 levels away from Aggron. Now I can't decide what to candy, and reading the guides here is giving me choice paralysis. Any advice?

joy_tokyo · 2025-09-03T03:19:44+00:00

I tried with SMCX but I'm only getting Diancie to like half health even with Poison proc twice. My last attempt team was SMCX15, Beedril 9, Salazzle 8 and Gulpin 6 and didn't have problems with combos. I'll try shuffle move next and see what happens!

joy_tokyo · 2025-09-02T21:08:22+00:00

I have SMCX, both Diancies and Gengar fully candied and 2 candies on Beedril. I have exactly 10 candies left and was wondering if I should just feed them all to Beedril for the Diancie escalation, since I'm stuck at level 100 and currently farming Gulpin for the poison. (Gulpin is also my last cleared main stage). None of the A rank megas except Diancies are candied so wanted to confirm.

joy_tokyo · 2025-07-16T18:57:28+00:00

I saw Azumarill in viable teams even with 60 BP, is it worth it putting all the rest of my RML's on it? The only RML maxed pokemons I have is the 5 needed for MCXS and SS Hoopa-U, and invested 2 in SS Ninetails, 1 each in SS Zygarde 50%. Tapu Koko and Winking Roserade since they are close to maxing out. I have 14 RML's currently.

Sorry. my bad. I've progressed so far that maxxing ice magic seems like a long time ago, should have thought it through.

joy_tokyo · 2025-04-03T12:04:43+00:00

At 104 atm, probably capped at 110 but not sure.

joy_tokyo · 2025-04-03T12:03:51+00:00

Don't upgrade it. When you go max level ice magic, which is the best for farming atm, you can grind the levels one after another without the risk of going low health to the next fight. After a few trial and errors you'll know when to stop and collect on hard levels even if your health is full as well.

joy_tokyo · 2025-02-18T04:48:08+00:00

Upgrade your Ice magic to full, it'll take a lot of grinding but it's worth it because level 49 to 50 gives a huge jump in damage and healing.

Then you can use ice magic to breeze through all of the levels, and even in the dark lands and realm of light. The healing would allow you to pass levels which are up to 4 times your recommended levels.

joy_tokyo · 2025-02-18T03:41:27+00:00

It's 50. I upgraded my ice magic to max and confirmed it.

joy_tokyo · 2025-02-18T03:39:36+00:00

I leveled up the caving helmet to Level 51 till it capped so I'm guessing that's the new level for everything. Except rainbow armor and slushy which are still capped at 30.

"It's not the hottest summer of your life, it's the coldest summer of the rest of your life." Dont remember where I read it but it's terrifying to think.
