Pokemondaygeddon 3: Take Back the Balls

Busy week in Pokemon Shuffle!

Pokemon Shuffle

My quest to finish S-ranking all the main stages was sidelined by the Mega Abomasnow ranking challenge (I'm in the top 2500 at last check and poised to finish in the top prize tier) and the Diancie escalation battle. Of course, I caught Diancie way back when she was first available in Special Stages, but the Escalation Battle for Diancie had a buttload of special prizes, so I took it all the way, finishing stage 150 just this morninng.

Incidentally, it's obvious that Mega Diancie's Mega Effect was designed specifically for S-ranking Mega Rayquaza. Which I'll do as soon as I build my coin base back up (level 150 of the escalation battle screwed me out of 13k coins due to extremely bad luck on my first attempt).

Anyway, on to the breakdown:
