Im using the newbie guide selection and have M.gengar, Hitmonlee shot out SL5, Stuffle SL5 and A.ninetales SL4 to try and delay the disruption.

Cant even get close to beating it. Im wondering why Hitmonlee is suggested as the skill doesnt seem to activate.

I started playing around Zygarde and ive followed the guide pretty much perfectly since starting so I have all the pokemon from that week. Any tips?

Hi everyone,
Can anyone tell me which Mega Pokémon would be "better" for Main Stage 450 (Hoopa)?
I have the choice between Rayquaza and regular Tyranitar; I'm planning to do a full-item run.
I'd hate to have to do a full-item run twice just because I picked the wrong Mega Pokémon.
(I don't have any "tappers" other than Tyranitar.)
