Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Emboar for me is about 20% through SL4 of Risk Taker. I'm short on coins though, so hoping I can complete this and get myself at least back up to 15k on Coins before anything big next week. At this rate I'm never gonna get to S-Rank the rest of the main stages for the Expert stages.

15k should be doable with Sunday Meowth. I tend to use the daily Pokemon stages for easy coins throughout the week (when there isn't anything else like EBs to do), then use the weekend to grind out PSBs.

Apparently there's a Mew EB next week, with rewards up to stage 500. Allows us to skip 12-14 stages at once so it helps, but maaaaaan that's gonna be a lot of coins for the boss stages.
Guess what, I was gonna catch as many new Pokemon as possible before doing double EXP Victini, then I completely forgot about it and ended up not playing the Victini stage at all...
Finished Mew escalation yesterday.
Skill boosted Mewtwo's Po4 to sl5 with DRI and got 3 RML.
Was down to 33k, now up to 45k. Nothing to do but grind Meowth....
Oh, and Salamence took the crown in victini, which sucks cuz it went from level 10>11 and wasted 1k of experience...

Good news: Celebi is 200 stages. Bad news (for me): It's 200 stages TIMED.
Fell just out of Tier 2 on MMX despite clearing 105k. I really, really hope that the next competition goes back to the old tiers, but I'm pretty sure it'll be another RNGfest to get anything above T3 (especially since Tyranitar seems to be the Mega of choice).
Finally caught Ledyba and Ledian, was gonna level up Pyre on Ho-Oh, only to find out it's a coin stage smh. The last few weeks have drained my piggy bank too. Guess I'll do Daily Pokemon or Kingdra since it may be useful for Houndoom.
honestly, pyre is not that worth leveling, after all it only applies to matches of 3, and nowadays, the powercreep fire had is dismishing with skyblast teams, as they cover grass and bug.
I guess that's true since Risk Taker Machamp and maxed Plummel M-Lucario take care of steel and ice types too. Gonna work on Daily Pokemon for coins and Kingdra over the weekend then.
