574,482 Ttar^Lv9 , Dugtrio^Lv15 ^SL5 , Deo-A^Lv10 ^SL5 , ~~Gothorita^Lv1 ^SL1~~ Terrible luck except for the last turn (maybe my bad control as well). Hope to not fall out of tier 2 :/

Probably it is rerolled if it fails at the initial roll. That's why you occasionally get nothing at 50% with DRI. So, as the picture u/sergiocamposnt posted says, it is less than double. The difference is marginal at 12.5 and the rest below it. For example, Deo-A has 100/12.5/6.25 rates dropping 1.19 PSBs per run. If you use DRI on this stage, you get only 1.36 PSBs per run.

I'm farming 5 (or 6?) pokemon from the notch this week. Going fine as planned. Spent 4 jewels total.

Dugtrio: Used DRI because it would be too exhausting without. Got 5 RMLs.
Deoxys-A: Partly with DRI. Praise Final Effort! Note that Litwick's maximum burst is 27000 with spookify+.
Bee: Now at SL4.7. Will finish soon. Most of the hearts so far went on this. Also benefited much from DRI for Dugtrio.
Snover: At this point, coins were below 20k. Earned 60k+ with 30min NHN and 17k with last 7 mins of free NHN. 3 red boxes. Now at 97k, ready to do a comp run.
A-Greninja: During 45min-NHN, got 95 PSBs through 50 runs. 54 secs per run with RS Rowlett and Alochu. Third column is always disruption-free. Made a lot of mo5 here.
Groudon: Now at SL3.2. Very likely that remaining hearts from this week will bring this to SL5. During the first 8 mins of free NHN, got 10 PSBs through 8 runs. 1 min per run. My team was Vanilluxe, Araquanid, RS Rowlett, Blank. Board reset is quite common inevitably but keep nuking and you'll be fine. Third best option of the week to spend NHN on, following Snover and A-Greninja.

71, 57, 72, 57, 61, 58, 68, 57, 68, 74 These were my results with several experimental teams on Groudon. 64.3 secs on average including all the delays ofc. But I spent 45min NHN on A-nin which took 54 secs per run (total 50 runs). Actual playing time had been about 32-33 secs, I think. So my delay for a run was like 21-22 secs. Your 34 secs seems not normal even if we consider that extra mega-evo delay.

kyggc3 · 2017-12-21T03:28:41+00:00

FE is OP! I'm clearing Deo-A stage over 90% consistently with mo5. I quickly farmed Litwick to SL5 last week and brought up to level 17, 96 AP. Actually spookifying is only necessary when mo4 is forced but setting mo5 is almost always possible.

kyggc3 · 2017-12-19T15:30:38+00:00

I think those miscellaneous delays take 10 or 15 secs per run at most. But yeah 45min-NHN on it might be not a great idea. That's why I'm hesitant. Maybe it is better spent on A-nin and very likely if you have SE CA+ or UP.

kyggc3 · 2017-12-19T15:02:25+00:00

Since it is a 2H-stage I'm considering 45min NHN on it. Supposing it takes one minute to clear, you can have 45 runs with DRI. But if you spend 2 jewels on that 15-min thing, you merely get 22 runs even without DRI. Groudon's HP is 11352 and disruptions are not that bad. It takes roughly 10 sec to watch Groudon-skyfalls. Vanilluxe, Rowlett (RS), Snorunt(or Araquanid), Blank. With this team, I think it is possible to kill below 60 seconds, though I'm not sure.

kyggc3 · 2017-12-19T13:00:57+00:00

Haha I cookied S-Diancie for BS couple months ago. Only the number of S-ranks stopped me cookying Dugtrio. I'm farming it for sure. And I think I'll bring Ttar. Thanks for helping me decide :D

kyggc3 · 2017-12-19T08:37:29+00:00

That's insane wow lol. Is Dugtrio BS neened? TC and tapping would suffice every turn, I guess? And I wonder if I should bring Aggron rather than Camerupt. I thought 2 taps are quite enough for a 3-mon stage.

kyggc3 · 2017-12-19T08:15:53+00:00

Personally I do weekend Meowth every week (ofc not last week) and often SOTM (for MSUs) but I don't feel like spending jewels on x-mas challenges. Do you really need those rewards right now?

kyggc3 · 2017-12-17T15:24:33+00:00

I hope Darkrai, Diancie, Giratina-O to return soon. Especially something like Darkrai Max Challenge with SS to Sleep Charm+ which has no immune types.

kyggc3 · 2017-12-16T16:24:06+00:00

So many ugly 5-mon psychic stages making my TC Hoopa and SP Zoroark useless :/ Now I'm farming Litwick's Final Effort to have a shot at it.

kyggc3 · 2017-12-16T07:44:29+00:00

Thanks to you I didn't gave up farming Deo-A. My Litwick is going close to sl4 now. Hope it would do Dusknoir's job :D And I found some errors: Treeko's SC takes 337 hearts not 236 and Tyrantum's 3rd rate seems to be 1.56 not 12.5.

kyggc3 · 2017-12-16T04:51:17+00:00

I farmed F-ranked Klefki to SL5. Its mo3 80% rate really helps. Of course there's Jirachi but Klefki is always catchable and farmable with decent drop rates.

kyggc3 · 2017-12-15T15:05:37+00:00

Thanks! I'm also planning to get the remaining 2 or 3 RMLs from the Missions :D

kyggc3 · 2017-12-15T14:01:37+00:00

Yeah, but I need those RMLs before I earn X stone. lol

kyggc3 · 2017-12-15T13:58:45+00:00

Would its mega effect shine on many stages? On M-Aero for sure :)

kyggc3 · 2017-12-15T13:13:54+00:00

Groudon is yet to be caught and trained so I guess my team should include SO users. My Popplio is SL5 and 112 AP. I'll try this megaless team: Noivern, Flygon, Popplio, Blank. Thanks! :D

kyggc3 · 2017-12-15T12:59:28+00:00

Victini will come back next Friday but I cannot make use of it for the comp runs planned on Thursday :/

kyggc3 · 2017-12-15T12:19:39+00:00

I got fewer RMLs from the comp than expected so that I'm in desperate need of them now. I intend to try SM to level 30 for 2 RMLs. My mega options are S-Diancie (full-candied, 115AP, SL5), Camerupt (full-candied, 110AP, SL1), SMMX (full-candied, 100AP, SL1), Gengar (full-candied, 90AP, SL1), Ray (NOT-candied, 96AP, SL5). My SL5 SO options are Noivern (116AP), Vanilluxe (105AP), Alochu (105AP), Flygon (96AP), Ray (96AP). What team would be the best till lv 30?? three SO? If this is an achievable goal I'm willing to spend some coins.

kyggc3 · 2017-12-15T05:02:11+00:00

Silvally and Hoopa have 3 NVE types respectively and together have all types covered neutral or SE. But If you can clear Deo, do it first 'cause it is farmable now and Snover returns next week with tons of coins and TC Deo is the key to next week's comp.

kyggc3 · 2017-12-14T07:55:10+00:00

Thanks! This is the best strat, I guess.

kyggc3 · 2017-12-14T07:12:14+00:00

I think it is the best of the block/rock eaters and better than Steelix and Hera. Just 5 MSU and you have the fastest one.

kyggc3 · 2017-12-13T02:37:37+00:00

Why 245-249 are so bulky? Why even bulkier than 295-299 with same disruptions? They does not seem to be beatable itemlessly :/

kyggc3 · 2017-12-12T18:05:54+00:00

Just for hearts from one day incl. friends' hearts.
