I never got Dialga in the end... ):

[Delicious_Scout]

Dialga is not that important; although its ability might seem impressive, it is not assured to work aligning three Dialga; moreover, Steel is not a great offensive type.

I did get it at the end, after farming over 15,000 coins (and my brother spending 9,000 and a jewel, the little #@&%).

[Sizacu]

Mm, I suppose not, but for completion's sake... ah, well. Sounds like you earned it though, if you spent over 15k coins!!

[SirBlaziken]

Farming Meowth is kinda hard but i'm starting to get the hang of it. I just can't line up 5 coins that well on that level. I am above 10000 thanks to it, however. I'm going to get as many coins as I can and just push them into one huge go at the mega.

 Yeah, this is generally what I try and do, but usually have a few warm-up goes before spending coins haha :')

Edit: Just did it with all items, got 36470, giving me 743rd, hopefully enough to come top 3000 for a Mega Speedup

Edit 2: Also just S-ranked Mega-Aerodactyl, just Steelix to go now xD Have like 4 days to do it before the likely new levels on Monday (iirc the last ones were like after Banette, which is 3 megas ago), but apparently EX-24 is really hard so it'll prolly need all items -_-

[SirBlaziken]

700 more coins before I can wreck the mega. Surprisingly i'm still at about 10000 in the rankings right now, but there's usually a big influx of people at the end, so I might want to hurry this up.

[SaRo|Rapidash]

Finally S-ranked Steelix, and beaten EX-24 itemises around 5/10 times I've tried, even had up to 7 seconds remaining so I should be able to catch it reasonably swiftly item less.

[SirBlaziken]

Got the coins I needed and blew them all on the mega. I'm in the top 4000-5000 right now so yay.

[SaRo|Rapidash]

Caught Greninja <3

Really hoping Monday gives new stages because otherwise I'm gonna be grinding on Ampharos for ages out of nothing else to do xD

On the subject of new stages, we have exactly 9 spaces in the dex excluding Legendaries, perhaps they will be the 9 non-mega new ones? For reference, they are:
Excadrill / Volcarona / Salamence / Weavile / Braviary / Avalugg / Hippowdon / Aegislash / Zebstrike

Will make for a tough 10 levels if that is the case xD

[Delicious_Scout]

I, meanwhile, have levelled Gengar, Groudon, Stunfisk, Marowak, Mewtwo, and Victini using Ampharos' stage as a grinding level and Mega Manectric competition as an excuse. Now I am farming more money, and Tyranitar has grown to level 7.

That Mega Boost shall be mine!

[SaRo|Rapidash]

Excadrill / Volcarona / Salamence / Weavile / Braviary / Avalugg / Hippowdon / Aegislash / Zebstrika

Aaaand these are the 9 new levels, with Mega Heracross at the end xD

Also Arceus is in the data with 90 BP and an ability that doubles normal damage in a combo, shame it'll likely still suck unless it's like a guaranteed activation rate.

[SirBlaziken]

I got the mega stone and I just missed the mega speedup by 600 something places. >.>

I did get Tepig, Jirachi (had to use great ball with lucky super catch), and the daily. Not a bad day so far. All I have to do now I save up a lot of coins to beat Milotic and catch it so that I never have to deal with that horror ever again.

[SaRo|Rapidash]

Salamence is impossible to catch -_- 2% base with 3% added per move, but only 18 moves long and the most I've had is 5 turns left =/

Managed to get Jirachi, Tepig (why is Tepig an event -_-) & Wynaut from the special page and then Hippowdon, Avalugg, Volcarona & Heracronite from the new 10 ^^

[Delicious_Scout]

Why is Hippowdon a 60-attack Pokémon! Dang, son!

At least I managed to become the 590-whatever-th on the ranking.
I am beating the new stages with low-levelled Pokémon; I think Pokémon Shuffle does not understand what "difficulty curve" means.

Also Arceus is in the data with 90 BP and an ability that doubles normal damage in a combo, shame it'll likely still suck unless it's like a guaranteed activation rate.

I do not fully agree. Although it only activates one time, a minimum of 180-220 damage in one turn is insane, not to say only three types of Pokémon resist Normal in this game; nevertheless, it probably falls short in the long run.

It would only ever be useful in timed stages - in regular stages you're sacrificing an ability for an extra 20 damage when it activates, which if it's all the time /might/ be good, but if it's only as often as say Pyre, it'll be garbage

Edit: Even in timed stages it'd only be good when Pyre / Sinister Power / Dancing Dragons / Sky Blast / Pummel / Pixie Power isn't SE, and they cover a fair few types xD

Edit: Also finally caught Salamence, still find it kinda strange that it's Flying type, but hopefully that gives hope for a Fairy Gardevoir
