Hey everyone, i wanted help for Tapu Koko, i don't have neither Dugtrio or Groudon, but at least i can make a perfect Hippowdon if needed and got perfect Flygon, is it enough?
Are you sure you really want to farm Tapu Koko? Getting it to SL5 requires around 530 hearts on average, which means you won't be able to complete it until the next time it comes out (and NHN is not an option, as the stage is very time-consuming). If you are really determined, then you can try: as pika pal said, you may have trouble winning consistently, but with a bit of practice you should be able to come out on top. When I farmed it I used M-Beedrill, Dugtrio, Flygon and Hippowdon, but I found Dugtrio not that necessary: after the first disruption, your goal is to avoid combos of 3 or higher to prevent further disruption, so you won't have many chances to take advantage of Block Shot. Ideally, you should try to deal around 10k damage with Shot Out (not always easy, as you'll have to rely on mo3 more often than not), while simultaneously preparing mo4/5 Hippowdon on row 6 and column F. A couple of tips:
1) don't remove ice too quickly, try to take advantage of it instead. A couple of well-placed frozen icons can be useful to prevent unwanted combos from ruining your plans. Also remember that frozen Pokemon can be used twice. This may be very helpful if there aren't many Hippowdons available on the board.
2) before activating Shot Out, pay attention to the position of Tapu Kokos on the field. Removing the wrong ones may start an unexpected combo, or even worse, ruin a crucial match of Hippowdons. Don't mindlessly match Flygons!
There's another option to beat the stage, though I haven't tested it myself: female Hippowdon. A perfect Hippowdon-F deals 15120 damage on a match of 5 with Final Effort. Dealing around 5000 damage with Flygon while preparing a single match of 5 shouldn't be too hard, so if you have Hippowdon-F and feel like investing a few resources on it, it may be an interesting alternative.
Regardless of the strategy you'll choose, I wish you good luck, you'll need it ;)
