This'll make getting Regirock to SL5 a bit easier on the wallet. Only my second 10K run in history!

I opted to bring my freshly powered Angrychu in place of Mamoswine for damage potential, and of course it missed on a 5-match. Would have been around 106K if it had hit. I'll have another go at thi...

Well, that was fast. All the Costume-chus from the Safaris were found in 12 Hearts collectively (4 here). This gives me a bit more time to prepare for next week -- my Ash Greninja wants to have a w...

Latios Escalation Battles, Complete! Team: Mega Diancie (10/10, 10), Xerneas (15), Azumarill (20), Togekiss (15) Items: Time +10, Attack Power ↑ Two failed SL2 Pixie Power activations on a 4-match!...

Done with Time +10, but... why is there a boss here now? And why is the prize so pathetic? I bumped up Xerneas to Level 15 with the assistance of Magearna and a few Exp. Boosters from a SM run yest...

So, so close with Time +10 here! Probably would have had it if I had a Level 20 Xerneas, but mine is a measly 11 and I'm saving my Exp. Boosters for one Pokémon in particular... I'll take the Attac...

Another itemless victory! Same team as on 90, but Mega Diancie (10/10, 10) took Gardevoir's place. This is the first time I've ever felt lucky after doing a timed stage like this itemless. Mega Dia...

I didn't even notice it was a boss stage beforehand (indicated by the Swapper prize) and was caught off guard by the difficulty spike, but still managed to win itemless. Team: Mega Gardevoir (10, n...

"Oh baby, a triple!" Second RML and a quick SL2 on Cross Attack+. I wasn't going to Skill Swap Luxray at all because I didn't think I'd use him anyway (and I still don't), but with 27 Swappers and ...

Easy enough, but hard to manage itemless without a combo booster or continuous burst damage. Team: Mega Glalie (15, 6/6), Articuno (18), Vanillish (18, SL3 Ice Dance), Kyurem (10) Items: None I'm a...

Fourth play! I'm hoping there's some sort of stealth drop rate increase for RMLs because the stage is rather difficult to beat itemless. My strategy here is going for a couple of Cloud Clear+ trigg...

First attempt is OK, but definitely not tier 1 material. This is what I get for neglecting my Electrics -- no RMLs on Ampharos or Angrychu. (Pika-dos is level 6) Regular combos were actually outsta...

First Tornadus run of the night, and this happens. I actually got lucky with drops -- am I in a parallel universe now? For anyone wondering, I'm using a full Ice Dance team to clear this stage cons...

Seven years later...

Shiny Magikarp was very helpful during this run! No one should actually be taking this "competition" seriously, BTW. This is literally putting 9000 Coins in a slot machine; whether or not you get a...

You know that old saying "save the best for last"? Decidueye saved the worst for last. Good Arceus. Team: Mega Tyranitar, Emboar, Ho-oh, Talonflame (15, SL2) Items: All I... really don't know what ...

Who needs Heatran?! 140 clear without C-1! Team: Mega Tyranitar (10), Emboar (Risk-Taker, 15, SL4), Blaziken (15, SL1), Articuno (15, SL3) Items: All except for Complexity -1 "Blaziken?" probably w...

Another Moves +5, another boss clear! Used the same Ice team from Level 25 (see Play Journal). I've made it a goal to finish this EB without investing into Heatran even though I'm sitting on a mass...

The cheap run continues! 1600 Coins spent so far (800 here). Team: Mega Shiny Rayquaza (15/15, 10), Ho-oh (Pyre, 10, SL2), Emboar (Risk-Taker, 15, SL4), Decidueye (2) This would have been vastly be...

Well, this was annoying. Team: Mega Shiny Rayquaza (15/15, 10), Articuno (15, SL3), Alolan Ninetales (9, SL4), Decidueye (2) Items: Moves +5 Came within 1000 HP of clearing this itemless 3 out of 8...

Bad RNG, and still won comfortably without items. Team: Mega Glalie (6/6, Level 15, SL3), Articuno (15, SL3), Vanillish (15, SL3), Alolan Ninetales (9, SL4) No 4-matches of Ninetales were available...

Currently building up my official Ice team for what will likely be a Decidueye Escalation Battle come Tuesday. Fully candied Glalie, 10/10 Articuno, 10/10 Vanillish (Ice Dance), SL4 Ninetales. The ...
