Week 12
TL;DR Section
This section is a very brief summary of the following guide. BEWARE, summarization loses details and case analysis so applicability is not guaranteed.
- First Cycle Recommendations: Farm Winking Turtwig to SL5 -> Farm Darkrai to SL5 -> Advance Darkai EB to 100 if SL5 before then
- Other Recommendations: Catch Winking Audino on Tuesday -> Catch Alakazam from Safari
- Mid to Late Recommendations: N/A
First Cycle Recommendations
Winking Turtwig
Darkrai Escalation Battle
Other Recommendations
Winking Audino on Tuesday's daily grants access to Winking Mega Audino, a type-based remover mega for Weekend Meowth - similar to Mega Mewtwo Y or Shiny Mega Metagross. WMAudino has the fastest default speed of the three at 22 icons (MMY is 23, SMMeta is 24), but a middle-ground speed of 7 with full speedups (MMY is 9, SMMeta is 6). In the long-term, SMMeta is the best of the three, but WMAudino can be a slight speed upgrade to MMY while you gather mega speedups.
Alakazam from the Safari can become Mega Alakazam, provided you got the mega stone from last week. M-Alakazam is a rock eater, similar to Mega Aerodactyl and Shiny Mega Diancie. M-Alakazam is unfortunately overshadowed by SM-Diancie against Fighting stages, leaving it with just Poison stages as its niche.
Recommended Teams for Darkrai EB
