Sunday Meowth V2.0 Guide
EDIT JAN 1st: Mega Salamence has appeared, and a new team has arrived!
During 11/15/2016 update, Sunday Meowth has been changed, both in disruption pattern and initial board. While some might argue this is a bad thing, it's actually better. There are only 5 starting boards (there are actually a lot more, but only 5 different positioning for the coins).
| Disruption pattern | Condition | Result 1 | Result 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | During your first move, make a match of 3 or higher | 80% Randomly spawns 8 coins | 20% Randomly spawns 12 coins |
| B | During the rest of your moves, do a match of 3 or higher | 66% Randomly spawns 3 coins | 33% Randomly spawns 5 coins |
Your best initial move is one that makes a combo of 3 or higher and a move that doesn't match coins.
Starting Boards
Before we bing, for this guide, I'm currently using my standard Mega-Mewtwo Y team. Keep in mind that Meloetta's activation rates are poor (10/20/60), and if you're planning on using a MMY team, you're better off with Meowstic-F or Espeon.
| Mega Slot | Slot 1 | Slot 2 | Slot 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mewtwo-Y^5/5 | Meloetta^SL1 | Unown-!^SL2 | Meowstic-M^SL4 |
When looking at the images, the move is red to blue, not the other way around.
My first starting board, got me thinking quite a lot. Best move would be F4>B5, since might trigger mega boost and match columns C and D.
E5>A4 Free Mega Boost + matching columns C and D.
Now I'ts getting trickier. You have a mega boost option in Row 4, your best move is C5>C4 which could trigger Mega Boost and match columns A and B.
Risky, since it's Mewtwo. F4>C4 You might lose a single coin if Swap triggers, but both columns A and B will match, resulting in a combo of 3 matches.
You're pretty much screwed, you will have to trigger a coin match and lose 3 coins. E5>A4, but hey! You'll get a free Mega Boost.
Other teams and strategies
Many users are reporting that MMY psychic teams aren't working THAT well anymore. Two weeks ago, a user reported a new strategy, involving Eject and Quirky teams. This pokemon, used in combination of Rayquaza, Gengar or Red Gyarados (as megas) and leaving a blank space in your party could make an even greater profit.
As always, bring a Moves+5 item with you.
The following list contains posible pokemon to use and why
| Pokemon | Ability | Why to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Manaphy(SS) | Eject++ | With the Blank Space technique, if Eject++ triggers (40/100/100) it will erase 5 Pidgeys from the board. Manaphy had a Special PSB stage, giving him the upper hand. |
| Sunkern | Eject++ | Same as above, except no special PSB stage |
| Eevee(SS), Jolteon(SS), Mew(SS), Umbreon (SS), Lugia, Leafeon(SS), Flareon(SS), Glaceon(SS), Sylveon(SS) | Eject+ | Same as above, except its activation rate is 50/100/100 and it only erases 3 non-support pokemon. PSB stage available in the present or past. |
| Xerneas | Quirky+ | 35/35/100 Activation rate, randomly erases 2 extra matching pokemon elsewhere, Xerneas is a good alternative and better than other Quirky+ users since he had a PSB farmable stage |
| Jigglypuff(Winking), Poliwrath, Exploud, Whimsicott(Winking) | Eject+ | Same as other Eject+ Pokemon, no PSB farming stage |
| Weezing, Cherrim, Lumineon, Gothitelle, Gogoat, Furfrou, Malamar | Quirky+ | Same as Xerneas, without PSB farming stage. |
| Kyurem-W, Goodra | Eject++ and Eject+ | Since they are Dragon type pokemon, Mega Rayquaza won't work with them. |
| Zygarde 10%, Unown-! | Mega Boost + | With a 50/100/100 activation rate and +6 megabar, both work well with Rayquaza or Mewtwo respectively, but keep in mind that M-Ray's ability won't erase Zydoge icons. |
| Meowstic-M, Meowstic-F, Espeon | Mega Boost | PSB farmable stages, they work very well with Mega Mewtwo-Y. |
| Salamence(SS) | Mega Boost | PSB farmable stage, but only for a week, it is extremely useful when using him as a mega. |
| Noibat | Mega Boost | Same as before, though not PSB-Farmable, and useful for M-Salamence |
(SS) It requires a Skill Swapper
| Mega Pokemon | Why to use it |
|---|---|
| Rayquaza^20/20 | In combination with Manaphy (SS) or Sunkern, Xerneas and a Blank Space, it works really great, could very well be the best team since Mega-Rayquaza can erase all 3 other pokemon, and while fully candied, it woill only take 13 icons to mega evolve. You could also try bringin both Manaphy and Sunkern for extra Eject++ power, or even bring Zygarde 10% as a Mega Boost+ Pokemon, keeping in mind that he is a dragon type and won't be affected by Mega-Ray's ability. |
| Salamence^10/10 (SS) | A new team, suggested by various users has appeared. M-Salamence's ability is the same as M-Mewtwo Y, meaning he can erase up to 10 flying-type pokemon icons. When fully candied, he only takes 12 icons to mega evolve, ranking him over M-Mewtwo Y. The team consists in Mega-Salamence, Noibat, Lugia and a Blank Space (filled with Pidgey). It could potentially work better than the current best team, but requires further testing, especially since he has a PSB-farmable special stage coming up in a couple of days. A 90% activation rate of mega boost in a mega evolving Pokémon means +6 mega icons in a match of 3, and the possibility of evolving him in 2 moves or less. |
| Mewtwo-Y^5/5 | The classic team, combined with Unown-! and 2 regular Mega Boost Pokemon (Meowstic or Espeon) it works well, but it does take 18 icons for him to mega evolve, once fully candied. Users have been trying their luck with Meloetta (Mega Boost++, 10/20/60), but it's a risky alternative. You could also mix this strategy with the one above, bringing Manaphy or Sunker, Unown-! and a Blank Space. |
| Gengar^1/1 or Gyarados(Shiny)^10/10 | Using the same team as Mega-Rayquaza and evolving at 10 and 9 icons respectively, Gengar and Gyarados are both good alternatives. |
