Up to stage 60 but going back to catch pokemon I haven't caught yet. Does anyone have any advice as 4he best pokemon to use against mew?
For Mew, I've been able to catch it as well as even getting an S rank for it with Mega Sableye, Volbeat, Illumise, and Purrloin, all of which are super effective against Mew. Good luck with that, it took me a few tries to get it down.

Check Mega Boost there. There's 17 Pokémon of varying types, including all the -eons.

Thanks. That list has made me rethink which mega pokemon I'm going to use. I wish the original 3 starters had better stats!

Still haven't been able to catch Mew, even with a Great Ball. Will keep trying, of course. This game has me hooked.
Edit: Anybody have tips for catching Mew?

Somehow I got it first time, with a catch rate of 18%.
I wasn't going to complain about that.
Don't bother with it until you get Mega Sableye and get three other Pokemon that are super effective against it (dark, ghost and bug types)

I got Mew

I gave up on accumulating gems for no reason and bought 36 hearts with the ones I had saved. I enjoyed a good 40 minutes of the game, and I like it a lot more than Link Battle without the energy system - even leaving in harsh catch rates and a power up system. Replaying levels is still fun and doesn't feel like a waste of time due to the fact support Pokemon level up. It's only annoying when you're wasting one of your 5 allotted hearts on a level you've beaten.
I understand the need for an energy system and this paragraph wasn't a complaint - the game is free and so far I've had quite a bit of fun without paying anything. I was just surprised at how much more enjoyable I find this game than Link Battle. Disruptions and limited turns make the gameplay much more varied than Link Battle, where all you do every level is make long chains.

Is there a formula for how much base power increases with respect to level?
Power of 4 is decent stuff if it works like it did in Link Battle ()well in Link Battle it was power of 5 and power of 6). That said it has to be matches of 4 to activate, not more than 4...(well at least in Link Battle anyway)
Open up system settings and check streetpass management. If Pokemon shuffle is in the top-left slot, that one doesn't work with Nintendo Zone Streetpass relay for some reason. Use 3DS sound as a sacrifice for that slot (as it always on the system so quick and simple to activate and deactivate).

Got Mew on my first try. Whoa, RNG must really like me today across these F2P games this morning.
I've been hoarding gems and coins, feeling like using the EXP boost though just to pump up some commonly used pokemon. Anyone else doing the same?

k I'm just going to come to gaf and complain every time I have difficulty with a stage. Beat Mega Mawile as soon as I made that post lol
And yeah RNG is weird. Of the ~10 last Pokemon I've got, I'd say more than half I had <50% of catching. Three of them were >15% (one of them was 5% @__@). And a lot of times, even if I don't catch the low rate ones, they at least shook 3 times. I had an 87% chance of catching Cubone and it shook once and broke free.

I'd want to exp boost, but i feel like there's always better Pokemon and my skill be the most important part of clearing a stage.

Haha, yeah there's nothing wrong with that. Pass a bit of that luck over here!
I just got Mega Sableeye during my last play, so I'll definitely take your advice and catch a couple more dark, ghost, and bug types before I give it another solid go. Thanks a lot!
Nice! It seems like there is some luck involved with it.
Same thing happened to me, haha.

Would Charmeleon/Combusken/Mienfoo/Torchic be enough against Mega Mawile?
Edit: Nevermind. Might just use Mega Lopunny.
Don't bother with Pichu. Mareep is better and easier to catch.

It's so good to be lucky lol
This game has me hooked, something I never expected. It may be because I love Pokémon, can't wait for the Mario puzzle game
gotta catch 'em all, mang

I think the users point was if you have a to heart to spend on retrying Pichu or getting closer to Mareep do the Mareep, you can always attempt Pichu when doing some grinding you hit roadblocks later on the game or something.

get in the damn pokeball charmeleon, you smarmy fuck
Just when I thought Mega Mawile was the only wal in the game... Mega Glalie at stage 120 is kicking my butt. I can barely remove half of its health. :S
That doesn't mean you have to catch them in order

My OCD requires me to have all of them.
One of the things that is slightly annoying me about this game is that it doesn't seem like our "heart cap" will ever go up. That, coupled with no "account level" that many other games of this type employ (often giving you full "energy" or hearts when you level up) means that you really can't play for any extended period of time without having to wait after roughly the same amount of plays.
Back when I played Brave frontier I could get in there for a little longer than usual thanks to leveling up at the right time and refilling my energy. Nothing of that sort is present here. :|
Is this what Candy crush is like? I have never played that one, so maybe they're adhering to that school of design instead.

One very minor thing that's annoying me is the music when you catch a pokemon. I keep expecting the 'ting ting tiiiiing ting-ting-ting ting ting ting tiiiiiiiiiing'. Instead I'm confronted with some fake jingle
Yeah, was thinking the same thing. Use the proper music, dammit!

Has that jingle ever been used outside of a Game Freak title?

yeah, everything about the game sucks
They should just throw the game on iOS and be done with it. It's about the money, not adding desirable content to a console's game library.
