Pokemonday Keeps On Escalating · 12:49pm Apr 18th, 2016
So did everybody enjoy the latest Escalation Battle?
Pokemon Shuffle
This week, a new Escalation Battle was introduced, and a couple of interesting changes were made to the Escalation Battle format for Zygarde (50% Forme).
1. The items obtainable in this Escalation Battle are mostly the new items--the Exp Boosters and Max Level Ups, as well as Rare Candy.
2. The battle info screen for Escalation Battles now tells you what level the next reward will be given at, and what the next reward is.
3. Occasionally, after completing the Escalation Battle, you'll get the message "Zygarde became angry! The stage level has increased by (number)!" and a ten minute "anger timer". Completing the battle again before that timer expires lets you skip ahead up to five stages--very convenient! (If you skip past a reward level, you get the reward, don't worry.)
I got stonewalled at level 180. I've been farming coins all weekend; depending on what tomorrow's update brings, I'm either going to crush level 180 with all items, or just leave it alone because screw this.
I also haven't bothered to go back to Survival Mode since my first attempt.

You know, I think the iPad and 3DS versions are pretty much identical and update in tandem with each other.
Oh, and also, I have Zygarde 50% Forme as well, since the game said "Three Medals, this one is an essential to make yourself an OP badass!"
Here's something I saw a few days ago that you might find interesting. I figured that it would be fitting to post on Pokemonday.
(Also, I tried posting the video directly, but the blasted thing wouldn't work. So I had to make do with a link.)
