So far, three Mega Stones have received repeat contests for participants who may not have acquired them before. These repeat contests did not use a time limit, instead using a move-limited setup. Therefore, players could take their time and plan their strategy without being rushed, which in turn could provide for higher scoring with a good strategy. The ranking range also is generally increased for these runs, allowing more players the opportunity to place and obtain the prize. Ranking would obtain the player the Mega Stone, with past winners in the ranking acquiring two Jewels. A one Jewel participation prize is still given to non-placing players. It should be noted that, during the Venusaur re-release, players only received the Jewel if they placed and already had the stone, and a Disruption Delay if you didn't place at all.

The first Mega Stone event to be redistributed was the Lucarionite, on May 18, 2015. The Mega Start item became available for this event in addition to the Complexity-1 and Disruption Delay. The competition received a third run on July 13, 2015, but with a different stage setup to begin; the only items available this time were the Disruption Delay and the Attack Power ↑ items.

'''Pokémon Safari''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンサファリ''' ''Pokémon Safari'') is a special series of five or seven 3-Pokémon stages that have the player randomly battle one of the different opponents when accessed, not telling the player who will be battled until it appears. There is no way to know which Pokémon will appear, leaving players to pick the best possible team to better their chances against any of the opponents. Due to the nature of the stage, the Optimize button is unavailable; players are required to select a team manually before accessing a stage.
