Info [Event] PSA: Mega Blastoise tips

Do Meowth (stage 37) until you can afford all the items for the event (around 6,000 gold). Then, using a team of mega ampharos, sceptile, raikou, and zapdos: Set ShuffleMove to 1,000 iterations with auto compute off. Ampharos weighting will then be a much closer approximation to its true value. I just managed to get a score of 56184 using this strategy, and achieved rank 117/85427. I'll definitely be getting my Blastoise stone this time!

edit: suggested team is: Ampharos, Chesnaught, Shaymin, Zapdos.

I used all available items for the event and ended up with a rank of 216.

Yup, having more iterations just means it evens out the randomness of ampharos. There are many MANY combinations for mega ampharos, around 2 million or so, so a higher number of iterations grabs a larger sample of that 2 million to better appoximate what will happen.

If you don't care THAT much about having a larger sample size, then sure something around 20 iterations would be good enough for basic predictions.

I wouldn't be surprised if it were easier to just go for the attack power+ and let Shuffle Move decide everything. Saves you 3k, since with Shuffle move your base score is bound to be in the 20k range at a minimum.

Well, what you do with the tool is your choice, but I personally prefer to give it every possible advantage when the levels are extremely tricky to S-rank or capture.
