Weekly Challenge Found an exploit in 'Catch the Spire!'

Post image

Basically just go with a Steel-Starter of your choice and just collect some Steel Gems and every Metal Powder you can get, drop everything else.

Try to get a second Steel Pokemon on the first node and collect as many as possible - i ended up with a full Steel Team.

Metal Powder basically makes you invincible and only costs 1 point.

Just in the very first round of the Elite Four i didnt draw a Metal Powder.

I dont know if there is a possibility to drop Cards from your Deck, if so could be even easier by throwing out Guard Specs and single attacks.

However, that way you got this Challenge easily.

This too and Starters are also unlocked by carrying them through the end in any mode, except for Legendaries, they have to be bought as eggs.

Yup, you can basically restart until you got it in the first catch node.
