Stages 451-470
| Stage | Pokémon | Team | Items | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 451 | Duskull (safari repeat) | Mega Gengar/Rayquaza | Itemless | 3-Pokemon Stage |
| 452 | Archen | Mega Gengar/Rayquaza/Gyarados (shiny)/Garchomp/Swampert (with water team), Landorus-T, Dialga, Suicune (SS BS+) | Itemless, Overkill: C-1 | |
| 453 | Nincada | Mega Blaziken (with Pyre team)/Rayquaza, Reshiram | Itemless, Overkill: M+5, DD | 3×3 Barrier Disruption, I finished with exactly 9 moves left |
| 454 | Bidoof | Mega Gengar/Gyarados (shiny), Lucario (for pummel) | Itemless, M+5 | 3-Pokemon stage, ~30k HP, may require patience for itemless S-Rank- try and catch it itemless, then go for the M+5 |
| 455 | Dusclops (safari repeat) | Mega Gengar, Duskull, BS+ Yveltal | Itemless, M+5 | Duskull disruptions, I got frustrated from getting a few moves under with M+5, so I threw in a MS and went with M-Ray |
| 456 | Ferroseed | Mega Blaziken/Gengar/Rayquaza, Pyre team | Itemless, M+5 | rock column every 3 moves, I had 11 moves left with M-Blaze team |
| 457 | Shedinja | Mega Blaziken/Rayquaza, Pyre/Sky Blast team | Itemless | First move C5-C6 to clear, A few board wipes with M-Blaze should get the S. |
| 458 | Sableye (repeat) | Mega Rayquaza, Sableye (only if not using DD) | DD, M+5 | crazy O-shaped disruptions with Sableye and blocks, save some frustration and use a DD with an optional M+5 if you want the safety net |
| 459 | Flareon (repeat) | Mega Gengar, Vaporeon | Itemless | Really easy S-Rank |
| 460 | Ferrothorn | Mega Steelix | M+5, MS | Disrupts lots of metal blocks |
| 461 | Zorua (repeat) | Mega Rayquaza | Itemless, DD, M+5 | annoying disruptions, but consider going itemless for this. It doesn’t disrupt until half the moves are gone, so if you can defeat it before the disruption then you’ve got the S-rank |
| 462 | Beldum | Mega Garchomp/Blaziken (Pyre team) | Itemless, M+5, Overkill: add DD | lots of block disruptions, try itemless until you catch it |
| 463 | Vaporeon (repeat) | Mega Rayquaza/Ampharos, Jolteon | Itemless,M+5 Overkill: MS | disrupts with Jolteon and blocks |
| 464 | Volbeat (repeat) | Mega Gengar, Illumise | Itemless | 3-Pokemon Stage, disrupts Illumise |
| 465 | Zoroark (repeat) | Mega Rayquaza/Mewtwo X | Itemless, M+5 | I had a lot of trouble/bad luck with this state, so I threw in a DD |
| 466 | Metang | Mega Garchomp/Blaziken (Pyre team)/Rayquaza, BS+ pokemon | M+5, DD, Overkill: add MS | I finished with exactly 10 moves left, so unlucky players may want to add a MS |
| 467 | Jolteon (repeat) | Mega Rayquaza/Garchomp, Golurk | Itemless, M+5 | Disrupts with rocks and blocks so bring BS+ |
| 468 | Illumise (repeat) | Mega Gengar, Volbeat | Itemless | 3-Pokemon Stage |
| 469 | Bibarel | Mega Rayquaza/Sceptile (grass team), Shaymin-L | Itemless, M+5, Overkill: add DD | |
| 470 | Metagross | Mega Rayquaza/Garchomp | DD, M+5, MS (optional), Overkill: C-1, DD | Requires some good luck for the regular strategy. Overkill will get you a guaranteed S-Rank (and a high catch rate) |

| 473 | Klefki (repeat) | M-Garchomp/Rayquaza/Blaziken/Gengar, Pyre team, Landorus-T, Machamp | Itemless, M+5 Overkill: MS | disrupts Klefki, non-overkill will require luck as HP is very tanky |
| 474 | Pichu (repeat) | M-Garchomp/Rayquaza, Landorus-T | Itemless | A little bit of good RNG will get the job done |
| 475 | Tirtouga | M-Rayquaza, Zekrom, Bellossom, Shaymin-L | M+5 | Very tanky HP, will require some luck. If unlucky add a MS for good measure. |
| 476 | Nuzleaf | M-Rayquaza, Pyre team | Itemless, M+5 | Try it itemless until you catch it |
| 477 | Pikachu (repeat) | M-Rayquaza/Garchomp, Landorus-T | Itemless, M+5 | I couldn’t get this one Itemless for the life of me but a M+5 did it. Need some good RNG |
| 478 | Pumpkaboo (safari repeat) | M-Gengar, Pumpkaboo | Itemless | 3-Pokemon Stage, disrupts Pumpkaboo so consider bring it along |

| 486 | Shroomish | M-Blaziken/Rayquaza, Pyre team, Talonflame, Leavanny | Itemless, M+5 | Another tanky stage, a M+5 should do the trick if you’re unlucky |
| 487 | Chansey (repeat) | M-Rayquaza, Machamp | Itemless | SS’d Machamp really shines here. Use a M+5 if you get impatient |
| 488 | Axew (repeat) | M-Gengar, Kyurem-W, Zygarde-50 | Itemless | 3-Pokemon Stage. Kyurem-W for ejecting Axew icons and Z-50 for the barriers |
