'''Pokémon Shuffle''' (Japanese: '''ポケとる''' ''PokéToru'') is a {{wp|freemium}} puzzle game first released for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] through the Japanese, Australian, European, and North American Nintendo 3DS eShop on February 18, 2015. Major version updates are also downloaded from the eShop, but minor updates may occur within the game itself while it communicates with the server during {{DL||Check in|"Check in"}}.

Major version updates are also downloaded from the eShop, but minor updates may occur within the game itself while it communicates with the server during "{{DL||check in}}".


Pokémon Shuffle operates on a {{wp|free-to-play}} model—the game is free to download and play, although with a limited number of stages playable in quick succession. Players start with five {{DL||Hearts}} and spend one Heart per stage played. Hearts will recharge for free as time passes at a rate of one Heart every 30 minutes, with no more regenerated if players already have five Hearts. Optionally, more Hearts or Coins (which are used to play certain stages or can be used to purchase power-ups in stages) may be purchased with {{DL||Jewels}}, which are bought with real money or occasionally given as free prizes, to allow players to immediately resume their game. One Heart is also given for free when Stage 11 is played for the first time, even if the player has Hearts remaining.

A version for iOS and Android called '''{{DL||Pokémon Shuffle Mobile}}''' (Japanese: '''ポケとる スマホ版''' ''PokéToru Smartphone Version'') was released in Japan on August 25, 2015, in North America, the United Kingdom, and Australia on September 1, 2015, and in continental Europe and South Korea on January 20, 2016.

In February 2018, both the 3DS and Mobile versions of the game received their final content update: [[special stage]]s now automatically repeat on a [[Pokémon Shuffle event cycle|24-week schedule]] until 2037, with holiday-related events set to occur at the corresponding times every year. Genius Sonority has no plans to add more content to the game.
 
The 3DS version of the game became unavailable after the discontinuation of the 3DS Nintendo eShop on March 27, 2023 at 12:00 AM UTC. On March 31, 2023 at 6:00 AM UTC, the 3DS version's servers were also shut down, disabling check in rewards and competitive stages. Since special stages automatically cycle after just a single download, non-competitive stages can still be played after the shutdown if they are already downloaded. However, if the system's date and time settings are changed, then these stages are blocked off - checking in would normally restore them, but that will no longer be an option.<ref>https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2022/08/220819_at01.html</ref> Standard stages do not require an additional download or internet connection to play, and will remain available.

Pokémon Shuffle Mobile is a separate implementation of the Pokémon Shuffle game for iOS and Android. It was released after Pokémon Shuffle for the 3DS and took many version releases before it reached feature parity. There are several minor game elements that {{DL||Differences from the 3DS version|differ}} between Mobile and 3DS versions in addition to having a slightly different user interface. The Mobile version is currently on {{DL||Version 1.7.x}}. The version history tracked in this article follows the Android system. iOS is often a few versions behind Android due to the more time consuming nature of the iOS app store review process.

Pokémon Shuffle Mobile can only be played with an Internet connection. Unlike on the 3DS, it will not fully load otherwise. Regular server maintenance is scheduled on Tuesdays from 5:00-6:00 AM ({{wp|UTC}}), meaning the game is unplayable during these hours. According to the official support website, Pokémon Shuffle Mobile requires iOS 7.0 or later or Android 4.1 or later and requires on-device storage of approximately 200 MB, although periodically updates will require additional on-device storage. Rooted and jailbroken devices are not supported. When using Android 1GB of free memory is required.

==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
Pokémon Shuffle is a puzzle game in which players match three or more of the same Pokémon icons in a six tile by six tile Puzzle Area to defeat wild Pokémon, in a similar style to [[Pokémon Battle Trozei]]. Players try to {{DL||Catching Pokémon|capture}} Pokémon by defeating them. To defeat a wild Pokémon, players must cause damage equal to or greater than the opposing wild Pokémon's Hit Points (HP) and do so within a certain number of moves or within a certain amount of time. Players may then use their newly captured Pokémon as {{DL||Support Pokémon}} to help them capture more wild Pokémon. {{DL||Damage}} done to an opposing wild Pokémon depends on the {{DL||Attack power, Level, and XP|Attack power}} of the Pokémon whose icons are matched, the number of icons matched, the Skill the matching Pokémon possesses, and a number of additional factors. Each Pokémon has a [[Skill]] that is activated when the Pokémon is matched in a battle, as long as the specific skill criteria is met (sometimes at random) and the match is not the second or later match in the {{DL||Damage|combo}} (matches that immediately follow one after the other without all icons coming to rest). During move-limited stages, the icons representing a Pokémon can be moved anywhere in the Puzzle Area, but will immediately revert their positions if they do not cause a match. Once a match has been made, no icons can be moved by the player until the combo and the wild Pokémon's subsequent {{DL||Disruptions|disruption}} (if any) have ended. In time-limited stages, no-match moves are eligible, and icons may be moved as long as time remains on the clock. Breakable-rock, unbreakable-block, and any icon trapped under a barrier disruption cannot be moved directly in either stage type.

{{incomplete|section|Chance a Pokémon will run, Super Catch Power numbers confirmation}}
Whenever an uncaught Pokémon is defeated, the player gets a chance to catch that Pokémon. The chance to catch a Pokémon varies and is split into two primary components — a base catch rate that does not change and a bonus, which increases the catch rate slightly for each extra move (or time, in increments of three seconds) left unused at the end of the stage. If the player purchased a "Moves+5" or "Time+10" {{DL||Items|item}} before beginning the stage, the additional Moves or Time will not be factored into the bonus. However, the bonus will factor in Moves or Time gained if the player ran out of moves or time on the stage and used a Jewel to gain more. If the initial {{ball|Poké}} fails, a {{DL||Great Balls|Great Ball}}, which doubles the current catch rate, may be purchased for 2500 (3DS) or 3500 (Mobile) Coins. If the Great Ball fails, additional Great Balls may be purchased, though the catch rate is not increased further. Additionally, after the first Great Ball, there is a chance that the Pokémon may run away automatically. If a Pokémon has been caught, a small {{ball|Poké}} icon will appear next to its icon on the stage selection screen.

In Version 1.2.0 (3DS) onwards, or from the start (Mobile), if the initial Poké Ball fails, the Pokémon may become nervous, triggering "Super Catch Power". After the listed catch rate is doubled by the Great Ball, Super Catch Power will randomly add between 20% and 50%{{fact}} to the capture rate. This does not increase the cost of the Great Ball.

A Pokémon's Attack Power is the primary variable that determines how much {{DL||damage}} a match of its icons will do to opposing Pokémon, represented by a number between 30 and 120. A Pokémon's Attack Power increases as its Level {{DL|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Attack power table|increases}}. All Pokémon initially have a maximum Level of 10, though some Pokémon may have their maximum Level increased by using Raise Max Level {{DL||Enhancements}}. A Pokémon's Level is increased by earning Experience Points or XP, which can be obtained by battling almost any Pokémon or through Exp. Booster or Level Up Enhancements. For details on individual Pokémon Attack powers, see [[List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number]].

Each stage gives out a different amount of XP, but generally, Main Stages give an amount of XP equal to their number of moves, Expert Stages give 10 XP, and most Special Stages give 5 XP. Full XP is earned when players defeat their opponent, while a proportion of this is awarded if the player runs out of moves or time, based on the proportion of the opponent's HP that is remaining (this can award full XP even when the player loses if the opposing Pokémon has very little HP remaining). Generally, all Support Pokémon brought to the stage earn an equal amount of XP, but if the stage is cleared, one Pokémon will receive a crown, which doubles the XP gained from that stage. The crown is given to the Support Pokémon whose icons were cleared the most. Icons cleared by [[Skills]] or {{DL|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Mega Evolution|Mega Effects}} do not count, but icons at the intersection of a T, L, or +-match are counted twice. If two or more Support Pokémon had an equal number of icons cleared, the crown will be awarded to the one in the leftmost position on the Support list.

Special cases:
* Certain skills will deal damage equal to 5% or 10% of the enemy's current HP before the match, rounded down. This damage is not affected by the Pokémon's attack power or any multipliers, and cannot KO the opponent (dealing 0 damage if necessary). If facing a foe that does not have an HP bar (such as in [[Competitive Stage]]s), these skills will always deal 0 damage. Applicable skills: {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Absorb}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Big Eater}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Downpour}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Hyper Drain}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Poisonous Mist}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Vitality Drain}}.
* Certain skills will add flat damage that is not affected by the Pokémon's attack power or any multipliers, however the base damage of the match is still affected. Applicable skills: {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Counterattack}} ({{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Counterattack+|+}}), {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Crowd Control}} ({{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Crowd Control+|+}}), {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Crowd Power}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Flash Mob}}.
* The skill {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Brute Force}} sets the effectiveness multiplier to normal effectiveness, or 1×, for attacks that would normally be not very effective.
* The skill {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Swat}} sets the effectiveness multiplier to super effective, or 2×, for {{typecolor|Psychic}} type attacks against {{typecolor|Flying}}, {{typecolor|Bug}}, or {{typecolor|Fairy}} type enemies.
* [[Mega Evolution (Shuffle)|Mega Evolved Pokémon]] calculate damage using their attack power and Mega Effect. The result is then multiplied by the remaining factors.
** If the effect targets only unbreakable-blocks (not breakable-rocks or coins) or only barrier-covered icons, then each of those icons erased adds +100 damage.
** If the effect targets unbreakable-blocks, breakable-rocks, and coins, then each of those icons erased adds +50 damage.
** Otherwise, each icon erased adds (attack power of the Mega Pokémon) × 0.2 damage.


===Disruptions===
===Disruptions===
Disruptions are special icons or effects on tiles found in most {{DL||Stages}} that are usually meant to hinder the player's ability to do damage to the opposing Pokémon. They are most frequently placed on the stage by the opposing Pokémon, but may also be present in a set pattern at the start of the stage or appear randomly as a forced 5th Support icon. There are a number of conditions that may trigger an opposing Pokémon to place disruptions, but the most common one is having the opposing Pokémon's disruption counter reach zero.  
{{main|Disruption}}
Disruptions are special icons or effects on tiles found in most [[Stage (Shuffle)|Stage]]s that are usually meant to hinder the player's ability to do damage to the opposing Pokémon. They are most frequently placed on the stage by the opposing Pokémon, but may also be present in a set pattern at the start of the stage or appear randomly as a forced 5th Support icon. There are a number of conditions that may trigger an opposing Pokémon to place disruptions, but the most common one is having the opposing Pokémon's disruption counter reach zero.


Disruption counters decrease when moves are made, regardless of whether it is a move-based or time-based stage. Many [[Skill]]s and effects have an effect on the counter. Mind Zap will reset the counter to its initial value, while Prank will randomly change the counter to a number between 1 and its initial value. The counter will not decrease if the opposing Pokémon is {{status|Paralyzed}}, {{status|Asleep}}, {{status|Frozen}}, or stunned (by a Disruption Delay {{DL||Items|item}} or Astonish and similar Skills) when a move is made. The counter will also not decrease if the first match causes a Pokémon to {{DL|Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve}} or activates any Skill that causes any of the previously mentioned status effects, {{status|Burn}}, or Spooked.
Many {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s and effects have an effect on the disruption counter.  


All disruptions can be erased by {{DL|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Mega Effects}}. All disruptions (excluding Non-Support Pokémon) can be removed by the Stabilize(+) and Disrupt Buster [[Skill]]s. Swap(+) Skills can replace disruption icons with {{DL||Support Pokémon}}, though Pokémon within barrier or black-cloud disruptions will still be inside them. Additional disruption removal information is listed in the disruption descriptions below.
All disruptions can be erased by Mega Effects. A {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Stabilize}} or {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Swap}} [[Skill (Shuffle)|Skill]] can remove or replace most disruptions.

|- style="background:#fff"
| '''Barrier'''
| A barrier affects an entire tile and prevents the icon (including disruption icons) under it from moving in any way, including falling, as if it was frozen in place. The barrier, but not the icon underneath, will be cleared if a match is made that includes the non-Mega icon under the barrier or the Barrier Bash(+) Skill is activated. Both the barrier and the icon underneath is cleared if the tile is targeted by a {{DL|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Mega Effects|Mega Effect}} (including the icon underneath the barrier being part of a Mega Pokémon match), if the breakable-rock or unbreakable-block disruption underneath it is destroyed through normal means, or if the icon underneath is specifically targeted and erased by a [[Skill]], including Quirky(+), Eject(+), Rock Break(+), and other similar Skills.
|- style="background:#fff"
| '''Non-Support Pokémon'''
| Any Pokémon icon of a Pokémon that was not selected as a {{DL||Support Pokémon}} for the stage. It acts like any other Pokémon icon, and can be moved freely, perform matches with itself, and activating its [[Skill]]. Can be cleared with the Eject(+) Skill. Like other disruption icons, they can be created by the opposing Pokémon, come in pre-set positions on the board or in the skyfall, or appear randomly as a forced fifth Support Pokémon. If the player has chosen the forced fifth Support Pokémon as one of their standard four Support Pokémon, the forced fifth Support icon will be replaced by the first default Support icon (the icons that appear when Support slots are left empty) for that stage that has not been chosen as a Support Pokémon. This does not happen for Non-Support Pokémon (i.e. Mega Slowbro will always create Slowpoke icons whether the player has chosen it as a Support Pokémon or not). Prior to Version 1.3<small>(3DS)</small> or <small>1.6</small>, Eject(+) would not remove forced fifth Support Pokémon icons.
|- style="background:#fff"
| '''Coin'''
| An icon that gives players bonus {{DL||Coins}} if matched. It can be moved freely, and can be cleared in any way a normal Pokémon icon can. If the stage is completed, any Coins matched will add to the Coin reward at the end of the stage. A match of three gives +100 Coins, a match of four gives +300, a match of five gives +500, and a match of six gives +700. No other multipliers affect the amount of Coins received.
|- style="background:#fff"
| '''Unbreakable-block'''
| An icon represented by a square gray metal block that falls but cannot be actively moved by the player. Can be cleared by making 5 moves after it appears on the field, using the Block Smash(+) [[Skill]], or {{DL|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Mega Effects}}.
|- style="background:#fff"
| '''Breakable-rock'''
| An icon represented by a square brown rock that falls but cannot be actively moved by the player. Can be cleared by making a match in any square adjacent to it (but not diagonally), using the Rock Break(+) [[Skill]], or {{DL|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Mega Effects}}. It is unaffected if a match removes an adjacent barrier disruption, but is destroyed if an adjoining unbreakable-block disruption breaks from five moves having been made.
|-
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | '''Black-cloud'''
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | A black cloud that affects an entire tile, obscuring the visibility of whatever icon, if any, is underneath. Icons underneath one behave normally, and can still be moved or be part of a match. It can be cleared by Cloud Clear(+) or any [[Skill]] or {{DL|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Mega Effect}} that erases an icon below the black-cloud disruption, including Quirky(+), Block Smash(+) and other similar [[Skill]]s. It is immune to Mega Effects if there is no icon under it when the effect activates and targets the square it is in. Since it is a tile-based disruption, it can be present on the same tile as any other type of disruption.

===Let's shake things up!===
===Let's shake things up!===
If at any time during a stage there are no valid moves available to players (that at least result in a match of three Pokémon icons), the game will say "Let's shake things up!" and restore the Puzzle Area to its initial state. Any pre-set icons and {{DL||disruptions}} will be replaced as they were, but other icons will be placed randomly again. The opposing Pokémon's disruption counter is not reset, however. Play then resumes as normal. The clock during time-limited Stages will stop while the initial state is restored. If this happens when moves or time have run out, no matches will occur on the reset Puzzle Area, should they be present, unless a {{DL||Jewel}} is spent.

===Mega Evolution===
===Mega Evolution===
{{main|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number#Mega Evolution|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number → Mega Evolution}}
{{main|Mega Evolution (Shuffle)}}
[[Mega Stone]]s are given out throughout the game, typically awarded when players defeat the corresponding Mega Pokémon used by a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, through {{DL||Mission Cards|Mission Card}} rewards, or as prizes on [[Special Stages]]. When players {{DL||Catching Pokémon|capture}} the corresponding Pokémon (always on a different stage from the Mega Pokémon stage), they can only activate its Mega Evolution by placing it in the leftmost Support position when setting up for a battle. {{DL|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Mega Evolution}} is activated by matching a minimum number of the Mega Evolving Pokémon's icons. Each matched icon slightly increases the Mega Gauge, found to the left of the Puzzle Area (above on Mobile). Pokémon of the same {{DL||type}} that have the Mega Boost(+) [[Skill]] can also fill the Mega Gauge. Once the Mega Gauge is full, the Pokémon will Mega Evolve. While Mega Evolved, the Pokémon's regular [[Skill]] is replaced by a {{DL|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Mega Effects|Mega Effect}} that activates whenever it is matched. In time-limited stages, the clock stops while the Mega Evolution occurs, and in move-based stages, if the first match of a turn triggers the Mega Evolution, any disruptions or related effects (like the sleep timer) are delayed one turn. Pokémon with Mega Stones that are in the second, third, or fourth Support positions do not Mega Evolve.

{{DL||Disruptions}} can be erased if they are targeted by a {{DL|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Mega Effects|Mega Effect}}. If the Mega Effect erases icons, each icon erased increases the amount of {{DL||damage}} inflicted by the match.


===Ranks===
===Ranks===
When a stage is completed, a Rank (C, B, A, or S) is given based on the number of moves or amount of time left at the end of the stage. The highest rank ever earned on a particular stage is displayed in the overworld, next to the stage. On certain types of [[Special Stages]], ranks are not be given or displayed in the overworld, usually because the stage played may constantly change or a different ranking system is in place.

[[Expert Stages]] are unlocked depending on the total number of S-ranks players have achieved on the Main Stage path. S-ranks earned in Expert and Special Stages have no impact on gameplay, including contributing towards the unlocking of new Expert Stages.

===Skills===
{{main|Skill}}
{{main|Skill (Shuffle)}}
Skills are special abilities that Pokémon activate when they are combined in a match. There are a wide variety of skills available in Pokémon Shuffle. Typically, the specific skill associated with a [[List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|specific Pokémon]] never changes in Pokémon Shuffle. Players may adjust a limited number of Pokémon skills by using "Skill Swapper" {{DL||Enhancements}}. The list of skills that may be swapped are unique to each Pokémon.

===Support Pokémon===
===Support Pokémon===
Captured Pokémon that are chosen to be taken into a battle against opposing Pokémon are referred to as Support Pokémon. Only the Pokémon placed in the first, or leftmost, Support position in the selection menu will be able to {{DL||Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve}}. Most stages allow players to choose up to four different Support Pokémon, but in {{DL||3-Pokémon Stages}}, only three may be chosen. Each stage has four default icons that are used in place of Support Pokémon if the player owns fewer than four Pokémon, or chooses to bring three or fewer Support Pokémon into a stage. Some stages have additional forced Support icons found within the stage. If one of the chosen Support Pokémon is the same as a forced Support Pokémon, the first Pokémon from the stage's default Pokémon list that isn't one of the chosen Support Pokémon is used instead. If a "Complexity -1" {{DL||Items|item}} is used, the Pokémon that is in the right-most Support Slot (or would fill in the case of defaults), or the last forced Support Slot, is completely removed from the Puzzle Area (excluding those placed as disruptions).

For most stages, the default Support Pokémon are {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Happiny}}, {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Pichu}} in that order.


====Optimize====
====Optimize====
The Optimize button, located below the chosen Support Pokémon when a stage has been selected on the overworld, is designed to speed up the process of choosing Support Pokémon. Clicking on it will automatically choose four Support Pokémon based on several criteria. A random Pokémon that can {{DL||Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve}} and has the greatest {{DL||Effectiveness|type advantage}} (i.e. super effective, then normal effectiveness if there are no super effective Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution, and so on) against the selected stage's Pokémon opponent will be chosen for the leftmost slot. The remaining slots will be filled by the Support Pokémon that currently have highest base {{DL||damage}} (taking current {{DL||Attack power, Level, and XP|Attack power}} and type effectiveness into account, but no other factors). If multiple Pokémon have the same base damage, they will be chosen randomly from within that group. If the player has no Pokémon that are able to Mega Evolve, all four slots will be filled in this way instead.

In Pokémon Shuffle, Pokémon {{DL||type}} affects gameplay by determining how effective the matchup of any two Pokémon will be. Any given matchup can be "Not very effective" (½x {{DL||damage}}), Normal effectiveness (1x damage), or "Super effective" (2x damage). See the chart below for more information. (This chart is the same as the [[Generation VI]] type effectiveness table, except that 0× effectivenesses become ½×.)

===3-Pokémon Stages===
====Immunity====
Pokémon Shuffle {{DL||Stages}} that allow players to only select three {{DL||Support Pokémon}} are known as 3-Pokémon Stages. The Complexity -1 {{DL||Items|item}} is not available in 3-Pokémon Stages. Due to there usually being fewer types of icons in the Puzzle Area, large {{DL||Damage|combos}} are much more frequent.
{{main|Status condition#Pokémon Shuffle|Status condition → Pokémon Shuffle}}
 
Some types are not affected by certain status conditions:
==Check in==
*'''{{status|Asleep}}''' (Caused by the Skills {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Nap Time}} or {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Sleep Charm}}): Dark, Dragon, Fighting, Ghost, Grass, Ice, Rock, Steel
{{incomplete|section|Not checking in for a long period of time will allegedly increase the Check In bonus (maybe after a certain update). Confirmation/details needed.}}
*'''{{status|Burned}}''' (Caused by the Skills {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Burn}} or {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Burn+}}): Dragon, Fire, Ghost, Ground, Poison, Rock, Water
Nintendo 3DS players can use the "Check in" function once per day (server days end at 6:00 AM {{wp|UTC}} the morning after the day ends in UTC time), which connects the player's game to the Internet and gives them a reward for doing so. This normally grants 500 Coins, but will instead grant 1000 Coins every 10 times players Check in. Checking more than once in a 24-hour period does not contribute toward 1000 Coin rewards.
* '''Disruption Delay''' (Caused by the [[File:Disruption Delay.png|20px|link=]] Disruption Delay item, as well as the Skills {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Astonish}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Chill}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Constrict}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Crushing Step}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Daunt}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Fascinate}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Flap}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Sand Sport}}, or {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Whirlpool}}): No immunities.
 
*'''{{status|Frozen}}''' (Caused by the Skills {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Freeze}} or {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Freeze+}}): Electric, Fairy, Fighting, Fire, Ghost, Ice, Poison, Psychic, Steel
Checking in also checks for any patches that players may not have already installed. If there are any minor patches, the game asks 3DS players if they wish to download extra data. If they do, it automatically downloads and installs it. This is the only way to install minor game patches. If there are any major patches, the game provides a link to a page on the Nintendo eShop to download it and requests that players do so. If there is a major patch that players do not install, players cannot Check in. If a patch is released part way through the day and the Check In function has already been used, the patch can still be downloaded on that day by checking-in again.
*'''{{status|Paralyzed}}''' (Caused by the Skills {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Dragon Shriek}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Lightning}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Paralyze}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Paralyze+}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Quake}}, or {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Shock Attack}}): Dragon, Electric, Fairy, Flying, Ghost, Poison, Psychic, Steel
 
*'''{{status|Poisoned}}''' (Caused by the Skill {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Poison}}): Ghost, Ground, Poison, Rock, Steel
Checking in also synchronizes the system's copy of {{wp|UTC}} time with the server, regulating when [[Special Stages]] appear. If the system time is changed, players must Check In again to regain access to any active Special Stages they have, thereby resyncing with the server. Special Stages that do not begin on the day a new version is released can be accessed even if players have not Checked in that day, as long as the system has the version of the game with the stage programmed (for example, the Hoenn Legends stages appeared at the start time for anyone who had updated the game to the version released on that Monday, regardless of whether or not they had Checked in on or after the release time).
*'''{{status|Spooked}}''' (Caused by the Skills {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Spookify}} or {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Spookify+}}): Bug, Dark, Dragon, Fighting, Grass, Ground, Ice, Poison, Rock, Steel
 
{{DL||Pokémon Shuffle Mobile}} does not have the "Check in" feature, but instead has "Data Update" functionality that runs automatically when the application is loaded. This "Data Update" installs minor and major updates automatically and requires a Internet connection. If no Internet connection is available to perform the "Data Update", Shuffle Mobile will not finish loading.

As of July 26, 2016, all versions of Pokémon Shuffle include over 493 stages, most of which give players the chance to {{DL||Catching Pokémon|catch}} a unique Pokémon. New stages are consistently added via updates.
===3-Pokémon Stages===
Pokémon Shuffle [[Stage (Shuffle)|Stage]]s that allow players to only select three {{DL||Support Pokémon}} are known as 3-Pokémon Stages. The [[File:Complexity -1.png|20px|link=]] Complexity -1 {{DL|List of items (Shuffle)|Stage-use items|item}} is not available in 3-Pokémon Stages. Due to there usually being fewer types of icons in the Puzzle Area, large {{DL||Damage|combos}} are much more frequent.


There are 4 groupings of stages in Pokémon Shuffle: Main Stages, Expert Stages, Special Stages, and Survival Mode. Stages typically cost one {{DL||Hearts|Heart}} to play and require players to defeat the opposing Pokémon within a certain number of moves (move-limited stages) or within a certain amount of time (time-limited stages). Initially, the player only has access to Main Stages; most of the other types of stages become available after the tutorial has been completed.  
==Check in==
* Main Stages are composed of 470 move-limited stages subdivided into thematic areas, each with their own music, background graphics, and final battle against a boss, which is usually a [[Trainer]] using a {{DL||Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved}} Pokémon. Stages are revealed sequentially once the previous opposing Pokémon is defeated. Victory against a Mega Evolved Pokémon earns players a [[Mega Stone]] and a {{DL||Jewels|Jewel}} on the 3DS or a Mega Stone and five {{DL||Hearts}} in {{DL||Pokémon Shuffle Mobile}}. The first 11 stages make up the tutorial.
{{incomplete|section|Not checking in for a long period of time will allegedly increase the check in bonus (maybe after a certain update). Confirmation/details needed.}}
* [[Expert Stages]] consist of 44 time-limited stages. As more Pokémon are defeated in Main Stages at {{DL||Ranks|S-rank}}, a sequential list of Expert Stages are revealed. Defeating the same Pokémon at S-rank multiple times or earning S-rank in stages other than Main Stages do not count towards revealing new Expert Stages.
Nintendo 3DS players can use the "check in" function once per day (server days end at 6:00 AM {{wp|UTC}} the morning after the day ends in UTC time), which connects the player's game to the Internet and gives them a reward for doing so. This normally grants [[File:Coin Shuffle.png|20px|link=]] Coins ×500, but will instead grant [[File:Coin Shuffle.png|20px|link=]] Coins ×1,000 every 10 times players check in. Checking in more than once in a 24-hour period does not contribute toward 1,000-Coin rewards.
* [[Special Stages]] consist of a changing set of stages available for limited time periods, and are a mixture of move-limited and time-limited stages. Special Stages are unlocked after completing the tutorial. Special Stages are downloaded during the {{DL||Check in}} process, and can only be played during the limited event period. The exact number of stages varies per week, or sometimes per day. Special Stages are also the only stages that may require {{DL||Coins}} to play instead of {{DL||Hearts}}.
* [[Survival Mode]] is a series of 50 move-limited stages during which players cannot alter their initial selection of {{DL||Support Pokémon}}. Survival Mode is unlocked after defeating the first 150 Main Stages and progresses through a partially randomized selection of those same first 150 Main Stages. Special rewards are awarded when the player progresses past certain stage milestones. Less valuable rewards are given on subsequent attempts if the player had already reached that milestone before. Starting Survival Mode costs three {{DL||Hearts}}, while individual stages within a challenge have no cost. Players may "Take a Break" and pause their current Survival Mode challenge by creating a temporary save point.


===Tutorial===
If the player checks in after not doing so for 30 days, the check in reward is changed to [[File:Coin Shuffle.png|20px|link=]] Coins ×10,000 and [[File:Heart Shuffle.png|20px|link=]] Hearts ×30 as a welcome-back bonus. This welcome-back bonus was later updated to [[File:Coin Shuffle.png|20px|link=]] Coins ×5,000 coins and [[File:Heart Shuffle.png|20px|link=]] Hearts ×30 instead.
{{incomplete|section|In v1.2.0 onward, is the free Heart from Amelia before Stage 11 a bonus Heart or regenerating Heart?}}
The first 11 stages of the Main Stages act as the game's tutorial. Players must first complete the tutorial in order to have full access to all game features. Throughout the tutorial, players are guided by [[Amelia]]. Players start the game with 5 regenerating {{DL||Hearts}}, 0 bonus Hearts, 0 {{DL||Coins}}, 0 {{DL||Jewels}}, and no {{DL||Support Pokémon}}.


* Upon starting the game, Amelia briefly introduces the game and then directs (forces) players to Stage 1 ({{p|Espurr}}), where they are not yet offered the opportunity to buy {{DL||items}}. During the stage, Amelia directs the moves, guaranteeing both that Espurr is defeated and that it has a {{DL||Catching Pokémon|catch rate}} of 100%. Espurr then becomes the first {{DL||Support Pokémon}}.
Checking in also checks for any patches that players may not have already installed. If there are any minor patches, the game asks 3DS players if they wish to download extra data. If they do, it automatically downloads and installs it. This is the only way to install minor game patches. If there are any major patches, the game provides a link to a page on the Nintendo eShop to download it and requests that players do so. If there is a major patch that players do not install, players cannot check in. If a patch is released part way through the day and the check in function has already been used, the patch can still be downloaded on that day by checking-in again.
* [[Amelia]] next directs players to Stage 2 ({{p|Bulbasaur}}), where she introduces the concepts of {{DL||Coins}} and {{DL||items}}, and gives players a free "Moves +5" item.
* Stage 3 ({{p|Squirtle}}) starts directly after completing stage 2. The {{DL||Optimize}} button (which did not appear before) is introduced by Amelia, along with type {{DL||effectiveness}}.
* After starting Stage 4 ({{p|Charmander}}), Amelia explains the concept of [[Skill]]s.
* When players try to {{DL||Catching Pokémon|catch}} the {{p|Eevee}} after completing stage 5, the {{ball|Poké}} will always fail. However, Amelia offers the player a free {{DL||Great Balls|Great Ball}}, allowing Eevee to be caught. Afterward, players are given a free {{DL||Jewels|Jewel}} as Amelia explains the function of Jewels. The game then directs players the Jewel purchase menu, encouraging them to purchase 5 {{DL||Hearts}} (6 Hearts in {{DL||Pokémon Shuffle Mobile|Shuffle Mobile}}). However, using the Jewel is not required to continue.
* At the start of Stage 6, Amelia introduces {{DL||disruptions}} as the stage's {{p|Pidgey}} turns one Support Pokémon into a breakable-rock disruption.
* Amelia describes what a {{DL||3-Pokémon Stage}} is at the beginning of Stage 8 ({{p|Pichu}}).
* In Stage 10, the player faces a Trainer with a {{me|Audino}}. Amelia hints that the stage will be different from all the other stages, and encourages players to discover for themselves how {{DL||Mega Evolution}} works in Pokémon Shuffle.
* Upon starting Stage 11 ({{p|Happiny}}), Amelia explains that only Pokémon set in the first (leftmost) slot of the {{DL||Support Pokémon}} can {{DL||Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve}} if players have the corresponding [[Mega Stone]].
* Before starting Stage 12 ({{p|Mareep}}), Amelia gives players a free {{DL||Hearts|Heart}} (5 regenerating Hearts in {{DL||Pokémon Shuffle Mobile|Shuffle Mobile}}). She also explains the purpose of the {{DL||Check in}} button that has now appeared (3DS Shuffle only).


==Mission Cards==
Checking in also synchronizes the system's copy of {{wp|UTC}} time with the server, regulating when [[special stage]]s appear. If the system time is changed, players must check in again to regain access to any active special stages they have, thereby resyncing with the server. Special stages that do not begin on the day a new version is released can be accessed even if players have not checked in that day, as long as the system has the version of the game with the stage programmed (for example, the Hoenn Legends stages appeared at the start time for anyone who had updated the game to the version released on that Monday, regardless of whether or not they had checked in on or after the release time).
{{main|Mission Cards}}
The first three on now many Mission Cards were added in {{DL||Version 1.3.x|Version 1.3.0}} <small>(3DS)</small> and {{DL||Version 1.6.x|Version 1.6.0}} <small>(Mobile)</small>. Additional Mission Cards were added in subsequent updates.


Only one Mission Card may be active at a time. Mission requirements must be completed within a single attempt. Each Mission Card specifies a number of missions, each of which will earn the player a specified amount of Stars. Once a specified amount of Stars are earned within the current Mission Card, players receive rewards. Players may abandon their current Mission Card for a different one but all progress on their current Mission Card will be lost.
{{DL||Pokémon Shuffle Mobile}} does not have the "check in" feature, but instead has "Data Update" functionality that runs automatically when the application is loaded. This "Data Update" installs minor and major updates automatically and requires an Internet connection. If no Internet connection is available to perform the "Data Update", Shuffle Mobile will not finish loading.


==Currencies==
[[File:Shuffle_check_in_bonus_stamp_card.png|thumb|right|The track of 15 check in rewards, represented as a stamp card.]]
===Jewels===
Starting in January 2018, the rewards for check in were expanded to include Hearts, Items, and Enhancements. Different rewards are given for each time players check in for up to 15 times, after which the rewards will cycle back to those of the first time. The rewards of 500 and 1,000 [[File:Coin Shuffle.png|20px|link=]] Coins are still present, but operate independently of this reward cycle.
{{incomplete|section|Other times the 'Buy Jewels, get 6 free' promotion was offered}}
[[File:Jewel Shuffle.png|thumb|100px]]
The game's microtransactions are focused around Jewels. Jewels can be obtained in-game by completing {{pkmn|Trainer}} Mega Pokémon stages (first time only, 3DS Shuffle only), rarely as prizes or rewards in certain Special Stages, for obtaining {{DL||StreetPass}}es, and occasionally as gifts. One Jewel was given to all players on February 21, 2015 to apologize for a software glitch that occurred around February 19, 2015; this bonus was for everyone, not just those affected by the glitch. The maximum number of stored Jewels cannot exceed 150.


In Pokémon Shuffle, Jewels are obtained via purchase on the Nintendo eShop (3DS Shuffle) or in the Jewel Shop ({{DL||Pokémon Shuffle Mobile}}). Players under the age of 18 cannot spend more than a fixed amount in-game per month (US$80, €100, £80, AU$150, NZ$150, or ¥10,000).
In {{DL||Pokémon Shuffle Mobile}}, players may not purchase more than ¥10,000 (or equivalent) per month. This is displayed as purchase points, which start at 1,000 at reset on the first day of each month. In countries outside Asia, players who are younger than 13 years old cannot make in-app purchases.

Upon running out of turns or time during a stage, 1 Jewel can be spent to gain 5 additional turns or 15 seconds. This bonus is counted towards the time/move bonus when attempting to {{DL||Catching Pokémon|catch}} the Pokémon.
 
From July 31 to August 17, 2015, a limited-time offer was available where players who bought at least one set of more than one Jewel would get six additional Jewels when they first check in during the 30 days from the next Wednesday after the corresponding purchase period. These periods are shown in the table below:

===Hearts===
===Celebration Challenge===
[[File:Heart Shuffle.png|thumb|100px]]
The Celebration Challenge is an event that began in August 2017 and concluded in February 2018. In it, players are given rewards if they check in on enough days during a given month. The rewards are distributed near the beginning of the following month.
Players begin the game with five Hearts. Each time most stages are accessed, a Heart is consumed (and will be lost even if play is interrupted, such as by turning off the power); Hearts are replenished over time at the rate of one Heart every thirty minutes. Extra Hearts can be obtained as gifts, rewards for clearing certain stages, in exchange for Jewels, or through certain conditions via {{DL||StreetPass}} or Facebook integration. If the number of Hearts obtained exceed the normal maximum number of regenerating Hearts, no Hearts will regenerate until the total number of remaining Hearts is lower than the normal maximum again. On the 3DS version, these extra hearts are stored separately from the regenerating hearts (as of Version 1.2). The maximum number of regular and extra stored Hearts cannot exceed 99 of each type of Heart.
 
===Coins===
[[File:Coin Shuffle.png|thumb|100px]]
Each time a stage is successfully completed (regardless of whether or not the Pokémon was caught), players are rewarded with a fixed number of Coins. This is typically 100 Coins for Main Stages, 300 Coins for Expert Stages, and 200 Coins for [[Special Stages]]. Clearing a stage again will result in a reward of 30<small>3DS</small> or 20<small>Mobile</small> Coins. On Special Stages, the repeated stage clear reward may vary between 0 and 30 additional Coins, depending on the stage. Coin {{DL||disruptions}}, if matched in a stage, will add more Coins to the stage clear reward. Coins may also be obtained occasionally as gifts or as rewards for clearing certain stages. Coins can be spent on in-game {{DL||items}} and are required to access certain Special Stages (instead of Hearts). The maximum number of stored Coins cannot exceed 99,999.


==Items==
The maximum number of any one type of stored Item cannot exceed 99.

If players fail to {{DL||Catching Pokémon|catch]}} a Pokémon with the regular provided {{ball|Poké}}, they can use a {{ball|Great}} to double its catchability percentage rate at a cost of 2500 Coins on the 3DS Shuffle or 3500 Coins in {{DL||Pokémon Shuffle Mobile}}.
 
===Special Shop===
The Special Shop only opens for limited times and offers special items for the player to buy. During its open times, the Special Shop's campaign is usually divided into consecutive 1-week periods. During each period, only a limited quantity of each item in the Special Shop is available; in the next period, the items are restocked if the player previously bought any.

When an item is bought from the Special Shop, it activates immediately. While one of these items is active, the player cannot buy other items from the Special Shop.
===Check in ten times!===
"Check in ten times!" is an ongoing event that began in February 2018. Similar to Celebration Challenge, this event offers a Pikachu (Celebration) as a reward for logging in 10 or more times within a month. However, unlike Celebration Challenge no Hearts or Mega Speedups are given as rewards, and the Pikachu (Celebration) is awarded immediately upon the tenth check in instead of at the start of the following month.


The Drop Rate Increase was not available before the July 2016 Special Shop campaign.
Players who check in 10 times in a month but have already received that month's Pikachu (Celebration) will receive [[File:Level Up.png|20px|link=]] Level Up ×1 instead.

===Enhancements===
Enhancements may be used on a Pokémon when selecting Pokémon for a stage, in the Pokémon swap menu. They are consumed when used. These enhancements cannot be bought with {{DL||Coins}} or {{DL||Jewels}}. They permanently improve a Pokémon as described in the table below. The maximum number of any one type of stored Enhancement cannot exceed 99.

==Stages==
{{main|Stage (Shuffle)}}
Stages are the individual puzzles that the player can challenge. Stages are split into three game modes: main stages, [[Expert Stages|expert stage]]s, and [[special stage]]s. There is also a [[Survival Mode]]. Stages can also be differentiated by their win condition: time-limited (win within a certain amount of time) or move-limited (win within a certain number of moves).
Stages typically cost a {{DL|Currency (Shuffle)|Heart}} to play. Some stages may cost more, while certain [[special stage]]s require {{DL|Currency (Shuffle)|Coin}}s instead. Clearing a stage awards Coins, [[experience]], and often extra currencies or items.
Main Stages are essentially the game's story mode and offer the chance to {{DL||Catching Pokémon|catch}} a wide variety of Pokémon. These stages are move-limited and there are 700 in total, subdivided into thematic locations. Usually the final battle is against a Mega Evolved Pokémon that rewards a [[Mega Stone]]. The first 11 stages make up the tutorial. Harder UX stage versions of the main stages can also be unlocked.
[[Expert Stages]] consist of 53 time-limited stages. As more Pokémon are defeated in Main Stages at {{DL||Ranks|S-rank}}, more Expert Stages are revealed.
[[Special stage]]s are stages that are available for limited time periods. They are unlocked after completing the tutorial and consist of a mix of move-limited and time-limited stages. Special stages are downloaded during the {{DL||check in}} process.
[[Survival Mode]] is a marathon challenge involving 50 of the early main stages, wherein the player cannot alter their initial selection of {{DL||Support Pokémon}}. Survival Mode is unlocked after defeating the first 150 Main Stages. Certain milestones in the challenge garner rewards. Starting Survival Mode costs three Hearts.
===Tutorial===
{{incomplete|section|In v1.2.0 onward, is the free Heart from Amelia before Stage 11 a bonus Heart or regenerating Heart?}}
The first 11 Main Stages act as the game's tutorial. The player must first complete the tutorial in order to have full access to all game features. Throughout the tutorial, the player is guided by [[Amelia]]. The player starts the game with 5 regenerating [[File:Heart Shuffle.png|20px|link=]] Hearts, 0 bonus Hearts, 0 [[File:Coin Shuffle.png|20px|link=]] Coins, 0 [[File:Jewel Shuffle.png|20px|link=]] Jewels, and no {{DL||Support Pokémon}}.
During the first stage, Amelia directs the player's moves, guaranteeing that Espurr is {{DL||Catching Pokémon|caught}}. In stage 2, she introduces Coins, items, and type {{DL||effectiveness}}. In stage 4, Amelia explains {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s. Stage 5 is rigged to fail so that Amelia can introduce {{DL|List of items (Shuffle)|Great Ball}}s, as well as Jewels and the shop. Stage 6 introduces [[disruption]]s. Stage 8 explains {{DL||3-Pokémon Stage}}s. In Stage 10, the player faces a Trainer with a {{me|Audino}} {{ShImg|531M|Audino}} and is introduced to Mega Evolution. After stage 11, Amelia gives the player a free Heart (5 regenerating Hearts in {{DL||Pokémon Shuffle Mobile|Shuffle Mobile}}) and explains the purpose of the {{DL||check in}} button that has now appeared (3DS Shuffle only).
==Mission Card==
{{main|Mission Card}}
Mission Cards are a feature that were added in [[Pokémon Shuffle/Version history#Version 1.3.x|Version 1.3.0]] in the 3DS version and [[Pokémon Shuffle/Version history#Version 1.6.x|Version 1.6.0]] in Pokémon Shuffle Mobile. Each Mission Card specifies a number of missions, each of which will earn the player a specified amount of Stars for completing it. A mission's requirements must be completed within a single attempt of a stage. Once specified amounts of Stars are earned within the current Mission Card, the player will receive rewards. Only one Mission Card may be active at a time, but different Mission Cards may be swapped to at any time without losing progress on the current one.
==Currencies==
{{main|Currency (Shuffle)}}
[[File:Heart Shuffle.png|20px|link=]] Hearts are the game's limiting resource. Starting a stage consumes a heart, and one heart is gained every 30 minutes (to a maximum of 99). Extra hearts may be obtained through other means (up to an independent limit of 99).
[[File:Coin Shuffle.png|20px|link=]] Coins are rewarded for completing stages (much less on repeat clears). Coins can be spent on in-game [[List of items (Shuffle)|items]] and are required to access certain special stages (instead of Hearts). The maximum number of stored Coins is 99,999.
The game's microtransactions are focused around [[File:Jewel Shuffle.png|20px|link=]] Jewels. Jewels can be obtained in-game by completing {{pkmn|Trainer}} Mega Pokémon stages (first time only, 3DS Shuffle only), rarely as prizes or rewards in certain special stages, for obtaining {{DL||StreetPass}}es, and occasionally as gifts. They can also be purchased. The maximum number of Jewels is 150.
Jewels can be spent to gain time or turns on stages. They can also be exchanged for Hearts or Coins.
==Items==
{{main|List of items (Shuffle)}}
There are broadly three types of items in the game:
* Items that affect a single stage. These cost Coins, or can be obtained from [[special stage]]s or check-in bonuses.
* Items that affect the game for a period of time (bought from the Special Shop). These cost Jewels.
* Items that affect Pokémon permanently (Enhancements). These can be obtained from later [[Stage (Shuffle)|main stages]], [[Survival Mode]], or [[special stage]]s.
The maximum number of any one type of stored item is 99.


==Passcodes==
==Passcodes==
{{incomplete|section|The passcode entry option was supposedly removed from the mobile version before March 2017. When exactly did this happen?}}
The game includes a Passcode function, where players can enter an 8-digit code that grants a reward in-game. It is similar to the "Receive via code" option of the [[Mystery Gift]] feature found in the [[Generation VI]] [[core series]] Pokémon games.

In the 3DS version from [[Pokémon Shuffle/Version history#Version 1.4.x|Version 1.4.0]] onward, if a StreetPassed player has not updated to 1.4.0 then they will not be added to the StreetPass List and the pass will not count towards Heart or Jewel rewards. However, the 3DS home menu icon will still display a green dot, and the records tab visible on the world map will still display a blue dot if such a pass is received.

====Version 1.2.x====
==Post-shutdown functionality==
[[File:Shuffle 1-2-1 Heart Display.png|thumb|right|The top screen as shown in Version 1.2.1]]
As of March 31, 2023 at 6:00 am UTC, the servers for the 3DS version have been shut down. This impacts several of the game's functions.
Version 1.2.0 was available from the Nintendo eShop on May 26, 2015. This update provides a significant number of new features and bug fixes.


*Hearts are separated into regenerating Hearts and bonus Hearts (obtained either from StreetPass or exchanging Jewels). Regenerating Hearts are capped at 5, and will always be used instead of the bonus Hearts if there are any. Bonus hearts are capped at 99. Any Hearts players had before the update are now treated as bonus Hearts, and the player's regenerating Hearts start off at 5 after installing the update.
'''Check in'''
*A candy icon now appears in the top right corner of Mega Effect descriptions, with "0/x" next to it. The value of x depends on the species of the Pokémon; it differs even between Pokémon with the same Mega Effect and seems to be tied with how long each Pokémon takes to Mega Evolve. Version 1.2.2 reveals this indicates the maximum number of Mega Speedup enhancements that may be used on that Pokémon.
*Levels and experience points are now displayed on the Optimize screen.
*After successfully completing a stage, if players fail to catch a Pokémon with their first Poké Ball (before using a {{DL||Great Balls|Great Ball}}), they have a chance of being offered a "Super Catch Power". This Super Catch Power provides a somewhat random boost on top of the Great Ball's boost (players still uses a Great Ball, and can use the same number of Great Balls as they could without the "Super Catch Power").
*After successfully catching a Pokémon, its {{DL||Attack power, Level, and XP|Attack power}} and Skill are now displayed on the top screen, in the same way as when selecting Pokémon for a stage.
*The Skill "Block Bash" has been renamed "Block Smash", and the "Bonbon Boulevard" area has been renamed "Sweet Strasse".
*If players leave a stage select screen and later returns to it, it will reappear exactly as players left it. Previously, the screen would be focused on the last available stage in that category.
*New mechanics added to detect cheating and remove such entries from Competitive Stages. Such removed entries are given the lowest possible rank. Any cheating player must legitimately beat the score used from cheating to rank in the competition again; this means if players submit a score of 50,000 and is removed, players cannot submit a new score unless they can score 50,001.
*Prevents going to the Home menu by pressing the Home button during timed stages while the timer is running. Previously, this exploit could be used to view the board without a timer in both Expert Stages and Competitive Stages.


*Fixes a bug which caused some non-Mega Evolved icons of the lead Pokémon to appear after Mega Evolution on Stage 176: Timburr.
Check in and its associated item rewards are no longer available. By extension, the monthly "Check in ten times!" costumed Pikachu are also no longer obtainable by legitimate means.
*Fixes a bug which prevented Mewtwo from Mega Evolving into Mega Mewtwo Y, and from being selected as the lead Pokémon when using the Optimize button.

===Mobile===
The version of Pokémon Shuffle available on the eShop was version 1.5.0. Updates 1.5.1 - 1.5.11 could only be obtained by checking in - these updates are installed as "extra data", rather than the update format used by other 3DS games.

|}


====Version 1.2.x====
Version 1.5.0 lacks a substantial amount of data from later versions, including:
Version 1.2.0 became available on November 3, 2015. This update makes several graphical and functional changes to the user interface.
* Main stages 641-700, EX stage 53, and UX stages 1–700
* All special stage data, including the automated 24-week cycle.


*A counter has been added to the upper-left corner of the screen while viewing Main or Expert Stages. This counter shows how many Pokémon players have caught out of the amount currently available. For example, at the time of the 1.2.0 update the counter shows x/168 while viewing Main Stages, and x/20 while viewing Expert Stages.
'''Time offset lockout'''
*The Pokéball and ranking icons that can appear next to a stage have been changed. Rather than appearing as a small icon above the ranking, the Pokéball has been enlarged and now acts as a backdrop for the ranking.
*A red exclamation point appears next to stages that have not been played yet.
*The option to search for {{DL||Effectiveness|Super Effective Pokémon}} has been added to the search menu's "Type" drop-down menu.
*In the search menu, each skill in the "Skill" drop-down menu now displays a short description of what it does.
*The design for the arrows that indicate Super Effective and Not Very Effective has been changed from three small arrows to a single large arrow.
*After selecting a stage but before selecting "continue", pressing and holding the icon of a Pokémon from the current team will show its full Pokémon List description. This also works in the pause menu during a stage.


{| class="roundy expandable" style="border: 3px solid #{{cute color}}; background: #{{cute color light}}"
The 3DS's time used in games and on the home menu is determined by its internal RTC time (determined when the system is manufactured), combined with a user-entered time offset.

|}


====Version 1.3.x====
When Pokémon Shuffle is first opened, it creates a save file and records the current user time offset. Whenever the game is opened again, it checks to ensure that this offset has not changed.
Version 1.3.0 became available on December 9, 2015. This update makes a few graphical changes to the user interface, and features the return of Amelia.


*Amelia returns to introduce a new recommended-Pokémon system. Each Pokémon is ranked from zero to three token-like icons (which resemble Amelia's face), based on some unknown criteria related to usefulness. The more icons a Pokémon has, the more the game recommends that players catch and use it. These icons are visible while browsing stages, as well as when players look at Pokémon in the Pokémon List.
If the system clock is changed in system settings, the system's time offset is changed, while RTC remains the same. Upon opening Shuffle again, the mismatched offset will be detected, and special stages will be inaccessible until the player checks in to the game's servers to update the save file's offset. This lockout is also activated if the system's battery is removed or replaced. However, the data for special stages is still installed, just not accessible.
*All Main Stage Mega Pokémon stages, all Expert Stages, and several difficult Main Stages now display a "recommended level" when selected. It is suggested that the player's Pokémon be around this level before attempting the corresponding stage. This does not appear on event stages.
*When the game is closed the player's last position is saved, and players are returned to that position upon reopening the game. For example, if players were to close the game while at the Meowth stage, then they would start there upon reopening the game. Prior to this update, players would always start at the furthest Main Stage that they had unlocked.
*The rank symbol appearing after clearing a level flashes continuously.


{| class="roundy expandable" style="border: 3px solid #{{cute color}}; background: #{{cute color light}}"
During the game's life, data for two weeks' worth of stages would be downloaded at a time, with the stages moving in or out of availability according to the system clock. This offset-checking would prevent users from "time traveling" to the latter week earlier than intended.

|}


====Version 1.4.x====
Since check in is no longer possible after the shutdown, it is not possible to undo this lockout by legitimate means. However, the lockout is controlled by a single value in the save file, which can be edited through hacking to undo the lockout. The lockout can also be avoided by using a hacking tool to change the offset back to its prior value before opening Shuffle again - or by changing the RTC time directly, which would change the 3DS's time but leave the offset unchanged.

Mega Swampert's stage data can also be found in the update, however its event description has not been added yet.
Additionally, a new feature called the Special Shop has been added. Here, players can spend jewels to buy temporary power ups, including one that gives infinite hearts for one hour, one that increases the chance of super catch power for one hour, and one that increases the recovery rate of hearts from 30 to every 15 minutes and increases maximum hearts from 5 to 10 for 24 hours.

====Version 1.6.x====
Starting with version 1.5.7, special stages cycle automatically on a 24-week schedule, according to the system clock. Additionally, certain events will occur on specific days of the year, such as around Halloween or Christmas. These events occur without requiring any additional check in to the game's servers, as long as the time offset lockout is not active.
Version 1.6.0 became available on April 26, 2016. This update introduces new features, that were in version 1.3.0 in the 3DS version.


'''Changes'''
Competitive stages still appear in the cycling schedule after the shutdown, but since they require connecting to the server in order to enter them, they can no longer be played after the shutdown. The items from these competitions, some of which are exclusive Mega Stones, are therefore no longer obtainable by legitimate means.
* Mission Cards that give rewards for clearing stages with certain conditions. These rewards even included Mega Stones that formerly had limited availability like the Lucarionite.
* [[Survival Mode]] added.
* New powerups added (Raise Max Level, Level Up, Exp. Booster S, Exp. Booster M, Exp. Booster L, Skill Booster S, Skill Booster M and Skill Booster L).
* New Pokémon and special skills!
* Functionality to allow for quick travel to the various areas is added.
* The friend system is also compatibile with non-facebook users with the use of codes. Player can also set any caught Pokémon as avatar.
* Pokémon Safari now shows the caught Pokémon.
* Some Pokémon now able to go beyond Level 10 due to the Raise Max Level item.
** With that, some Pokémon can now be raised up to level 15.
* If the player has {{DL||Jewels|purchased}} between 5 and 9 Jewels in a month, regenerated hearts can go up to 6 and 600 coins are obtained with each check in. If the player has purchased over 10 Jewels in a month, regenerated hearts can go up to 7 and 700 coins are obtained with each check in. This lasts until the end of the month the Jewels were purchased in.
* Victini's stage now appears every saturday.
* Competitions now show the current reward the player will get, as well as the minimum scores for each prize.


'''Aesthetic & UI Changes'''
'''Jewels'''
* Title screen has changed.
* New fonts and borders have been added throughout the game.
* Notice board is now wider.
* Next Expert Level beyond what the player has unlocked is added, with a note showing how many S Ranks the player has.
* In Pokémon Safari stages, silhouettes and icons are shown of the Pokémon that haven't and have been caught respectively.
** The game congratulates the player for catching every Pokémon in a Safari.
* Experience gained value added at the end of each stage.
* Remaining experience to level up listed on Pokémon List.
* A blue exclamation mark appears next to stages that have not been played yet.
* Mega Diancie makes a different noise when removing Pokémon.
* Player's info shows now "High Score/Stage" and "Best Survival Mode Record".


{| class="roundy expandable" style="border: 3px solid #{{cute color}}; background: #{{cute color light}}"
It is no longer possible to purchase additional Jewels, due to the closure of the 3DS eShop. Since check in is no longer available, there is also no longer a renewable source of free Jewels.

* With 802 [[species]] of Pokémon included, this game has more Pokémon obtainable than any other Pokémon game without the use of other games.
|- style="background:#FFF"
** It ranks fourth for most Pokémon included in a game, tied with [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], and behind [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] (807), [[Pokémon Bank]] (807), and [[Pokémon HOME]].
| 1.8.0
* The 12 "Celebration" Pikachu are based on the [[Pikachu Celebrations]] line of plush toys, where each toy celebrated a specific month of the year. In Shuffle, each of these Pikachu are obtained by checking in 10 times during the corresponding plush toy's month.
| August 10, 2016
* When damage is dealt, the damage number is displayed in three different places, all of which have different display caps: at the site of the match on the bottom screen (cap of 9,999), on the enemy Pokémon when the projectile from a match hits it on the top screen (cap of 99,999), and added to the score on the top screen (cap unknown).
| Adds the ability to go directly to the stages mentioned on the Notice Board and on {{DL||Mission Cards}}. On the Notice Board, the timer starts flashing when the event will end in less than a day. The profile in My Info now reflects progress through the game with various colored frames. The difficulty indicator on stages is changed from a Recommended Level notice to a number of {{p|Pikachu}} symbols. It also included several other minor UI tweaks and bug fixes.
* The "time remaining" counter rounds differently on special stages and in the Special Shop: special stages will round the amount of days down, while the Special Shop will round the amount of days up by 1. For example, if special stages would say that 3 days are remaining, then the Special Shop would say 4 days are remaining, even though both are counting down to the same time (Tuesday at 6:00 AM UTC). In the last 24 hours of a rotation week, the two counters switch to a format of hours, minutes, and seconds, and they are synchronized.

Pokémon Shuffle (Japanese: ポケとる PokéToru) is a freemium puzzle game first released for the Nintendo 3DS through the Japanese, Australian, European, and North American Nintendo 3DS eShop on February 18, 2015. Major version updates are also downloaded from the eShop, but minor updates may occur within the game itself while it communicates with the server during "check in".

Pokémon Shuffle operates on a free-to-play model—the game is free to download and play, although with a limited number of stages playable in quick succession. Players start with five Hearts and spend one Heart per stage played. Hearts will recharge for free as time passes at a rate of one Heart every 30 minutes, with no more regenerated if players already have five Hearts. Optionally, more Hearts or Coins (which are used to play certain stages or can be used to purchase power-ups in stages) may be purchased with Jewels, which are bought with real money or occasionally given as free prizes, to allow players to immediately resume their game. One Heart is also given for free when Stage 11 is played for the first time, even if the player has Hearts remaining.

A version for iOS, iPadOS, and Android called Pokémon Shuffle Mobile (Japanese: ポケとる スマホ版 PokéToru Smartphone Version) was released in Japan on August 25, 2015, in North America, the United Kingdom, and Australia on September 1, 2015, and in continental Europe and South Korea on January 20, 2016. It was originally scheduled to be released in South Korea on January 14, 2016.

In February 2018, both the 3DS and Mobile versions of the game received their final content update: special stages now automatically repeat on a 24-week schedule until 2037, with holiday-related events set to occur at the corresponding times every year. Genius Sonority has no plans to add more content to the game.

The 3DS version of the game became unavailable after the discontinuation of the 3DS Nintendo eShop on March 27, 2023 at 12:00 AM UTC. On March 31, 2023 at 6:00 AM UTC, the 3DS version's servers were also shut down, disabling check in rewards and competitive stages. Since special stages automatically cycle after just a single download, non-competitive stages can still be played after the shutdown if they are already downloaded. However, if the system's date and time settings are changed, then these stages are blocked off - checking in would normally restore them, but that will no longer be an option.[6] Standard stages do not require an additional download or internet connection to play, and will remain available.

Pokémon Shuffle Mobile

Pokémon Shuffle Mobile is a separate implementation of the Pokémon Shuffle game for iOS, iPadOS, and Android. It was released after Pokémon Shuffle for the 3DS and took many version releases before it reached feature parity. There are several minor game elements that differ between Mobile and 3DS versions in addition to having a slightly different user interface. The version history tracked in this article follows the Android system. iOS is often a few versions behind Android due to the more time consuming nature of the iOS app store review process.

Pokémon Shuffle Mobile can only be played with an Internet connection. Unlike on the 3DS, it will not fully load otherwise. Regular server maintenance is scheduled on Tuesdays from 5:00-6:00 AM (UTC), meaning the game is unplayable during these hours. According to the official support website, Pokémon Shuffle Mobile requires iOS 7 or later or Android Jelly Bean (4.1) or later and requires on-device storage of approximately 200 MB, although periodically updates will require additional on-device storage. Rooted and jailbroken devices are not supported. When using Android 1GB of free memory is required.

Game data may be transferred between Mobile devices, but not to/from a 3DS or shared between multiple Mobile devices at the same time. Once a transfer code is issued under "Issue a transfer code" in "Options", in can be entered along with the client number when the game is first launched on the new device. Jewels will not be transferred between different OSes. Transfer codes expire after 30 days from being issued and cannot be issued again for 30 days after the last transfer.

Differences from the 3DS version

  • Graphics are higher resolution.
  • Stages scroll vertically instead of horizontally.
  • Players who use older devices to play the app may experience severe lag and audio muffling. The Nintendo 3DS version performs the same on all variants.
  • An Internet connection is required.
  • The check in function occurs automatically when the application launches. Players must exit and restart the game in order to check in again.
  • Notifications, which can be turned on and off under "Options" and then "Settings", are sent to the phone or tablet notifying players when their Hearts have regenerated.
  • StreetPass is not available. Facebook integration, or player "Friend Codes" for non-Facebook users (since Version 1.6.0), is utilized instead. Through these features, mini Hearts can be sent to and received from each of the player's friends once per day. Each mini Heart sent or received fills a bar called the Friend Gauge slightly; sending a mini Heart fills a quarter of the bar, while receiving one fills a tenth.[citation needed] When the Friend Gauge fills completely, an extra Heart is obtained. This feature is disabled for players under 13.
  • The first successful completion of a battle against Trainers with Mega Evolved Pokémon at the end of each Main stage area earns 5 Hearts instead of a Jewel.
  • A number of early stages had adjustments to their stage data, including the total amount of experience available, the Pokémon's catch rates, and the types of disruptions.
  • Prior to July 2016, special stages were not always held on the same schedule, and some had different rewards or costs per play.
  • Competitive Stage rankings are counted separately. Additionally, rankings and prize tiers are not separated by region.
  • Gifts are received under the "Gifts" tab.
  • In countries outside Asia, players who are younger than 13 years old cannot make in-app purchases.
  • Players may not purchase more than ¥10,000 (or equivalent) per month.
  • Prices for items and Jewels differ, as noted in their respective sections of this article.
  • Passcodes are incompatible.

Gameplay

Pokémon Shuffle is a puzzle game in which players match three or more of the same Pokémon icons in a six tile by six tile Puzzle Area to defeat wild Pokémon, in a similar style to Pokémon Battle Trozei. Players try to capture Pokémon by defeating them. To defeat a wild Pokémon, players must cause damage equal to or greater than the opposing wild Pokémon's Hit Points (HP) and do so within a certain number of moves or within a certain amount of time. Players may then use their newly captured Pokémon as Support Pokémon to help them capture more wild Pokémon. Damage done to an opposing wild Pokémon depends on the Attack power of the Pokémon whose icons are matched, the number of icons matched, the Skill the matching Pokémon possesses, and a number of additional factors. Each Pokémon has a Skill that is activated when the Pokémon is matched in a battle, as long as the specific skill criteria is met (sometimes at random) and the match is not the second or later match in the combo (matches that immediately follow one after the other without all icons coming to rest). During move-limited stages, the icons representing a Pokémon can be moved anywhere in the Puzzle Area, but will immediately revert their positions if they do not cause a match. Once a match has been made, no icons can be moved by the player until the combo and the wild Pokémon's subsequent disruption (if any) have ended. In time-limited stages, no-match moves are eligible, and icons may be moved as long as time remains on the clock. Breakable-rock, unbreakable-block, and any icon trapped under a barrier disruption cannot be moved directly in either stage type.

Catching Pokémon

050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Chance a Pokémon will run, Super Catch Power numbers confirmation

Whenever an uncaught Pokémon is defeated, the player gets a chance to catch that Pokémon. The chance to catch a Pokémon varies and is split into two primary components — a base catch rate that does not change and a bonus, which increases the catch rate slightly for each extra move (or time, in increments of three seconds) left unused at the end of the stage. If the player purchased a "Moves+5" or "Time+10" item before beginning the stage, the additional Moves or Time will not be factored into the bonus. However, the bonus will factor in Moves or Time gained if the player ran out of moves or time on the stage and used a Jewel to gain more. If the initial Poké Ball fails, a Great Ball, which doubles the current catch rate, may be purchased for 2500 (3DS) or 3500 (Mobile) Coins. If the Great Ball fails, additional Great Balls may be purchased, though the catch rate is not increased further. Additionally, after the first Great Ball, there is a chance that the Pokémon may run away automatically. If a Pokémon has been caught, a small Poké Ball icon will appear next to its icon on the stage selection screen.

In Version 1.2.0 (3DS) onwards, or from the start (Mobile), if the initial Poké Ball fails, the Pokémon may become nervous, triggering "Super Catch Power". After the listed catch rate is doubled by the Great Ball, Super Catch Power will randomly add between 20% and 50%[citation needed] to the capture rate. This does not increase the cost of the Great Ball.

Attack Power, level, and experience

Main article: List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number

A Pokémon's Attack Power is the primary variable that determines how much damage a match of its icons will do to opposing Pokémon, represented by a number between 30 and 120. A Pokémon's Attack Power increases as its level increases. All Pokémon initially have a maximum level of 10, though some Pokémon may have their maximum level increased by using Raise Max Level Enhancements. A Pokémon's level is increased by earning Experience Points, which can be obtained by battling almost any Pokémon or through Exp. Booster or Level Up Enhancements. For details on individual Pokémon Attack Powers, see List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number.

Each stage gives out a different amount of experience, but generally, Main Stages give an amount of experience equal to their number of moves, Expert Stages give 10 experience, and most special stages give 5 experience. Full experience is earned when players defeat their opponent, while a proportion of this is awarded if the player runs out of moves or time, based on the proportion of the opponent's HP that is remaining (this can award full experience even when the player loses if the opposing Pokémon has very little HP remaining). Generally, all Support Pokémon brought to the stage earn an equal amount of experience, but if the stage is cleared, one Pokémon will receive a crown, which doubles the experience gained from that stage. The crown is given to the Support Pokémon whose icons were cleared the most. Icons cleared by Skills or Mega Effects do not count, but icons at the intersection of a T, L, or +-match are counted twice. If two or more Support Pokémon had an equal number of icons cleared, the crown will be awarded to the one in the leftmost position on the Support list.

Damage

Damage for each match is equal to the Attack power as shown in the Pokémon List for the given level of the Pokémon and then modified (multiplied) by the following factors.

  • Combo: (multiple matches occurring without all icons fully settling)
    • 1: ×1
    • 2-4: ×1.1
    • 5-9: ×1.15
    • 10-24: ×1.2
    • 25-49: ×1.3
    • 50-74: ×1.4
    • 75-99: ×1.5
    • 100-199: ×2
    • 200+: ×2.5
  • Effectiveness: (the combination of different types of Pokémon in a battle)
    • Not very effective: ×0.5
    • Normal effectiveness: ×1
    • Super effective: ×2
  • Length of Match:
    • 3: ×1
    • 4: ×1.5
    • 5: ×2
    • 6: ×3
  • Skills:
    • Many Skills impact damage calculations. Damage multipliers for each Skill are listed on the "Skill" page.
  • Status conditions: (depends on which status has been afflicted on the opposing Pokémon)

Special cases:

  • Certain skills will deal damage equal to 5% or 10% of the enemy's current HP before the match, rounded down. This damage is not affected by the Pokémon's attack power or any multipliers, and cannot KO the opponent (dealing 0 damage if necessary). If facing a foe that does not have an HP bar (such as in Competitive Stages), these skills will always deal 0 damage. Applicable skills: Absorb, Big Eater, Downpour, Hyper Drain, Poisonous Mist, Vitality Drain.
  • Certain skills will add flat damage that is not affected by the Pokémon's attack power or any multipliers, however the base damage of the match is still affected. Applicable skills: Counterattack (+), Crowd Control (+), Crowd Power, Flash Mob.
  • The skill Brute Force sets the effectiveness multiplier to normal effectiveness, or 1×, for attacks that would normally be not very effective.
  • The skill Swat sets the effectiveness multiplier to super effective, or 2×, for  Psychic  type attacks against  Flying ,  Bug , or  Fairy  type enemies.
  • Mega Evolved Pokémon calculate damage using their attack power and Mega Effect. The result is then multiplied by the remaining factors.
    • If the effect targets only unbreakable-blocks (not breakable-rocks or coins) or only barrier-covered icons, then each of those icons erased adds +100 damage.
    • If the effect targets unbreakable-blocks, breakable-rocks, and coins, then each of those icons erased adds +50 damage.
    • Otherwise, each icon erased adds (attack power of the Mega Pokémon) × 0.2 damage.

Disruptions

Main article: Disruption

Disruptions are special icons or effects on tiles found in most Stages that are usually meant to hinder the player's ability to do damage to the opposing Pokémon. They are most frequently placed on the stage by the opposing Pokémon, but may also be present in a set pattern at the start of the stage or appear randomly as a forced 5th Support icon. There are a number of conditions that may trigger an opposing Pokémon to place disruptions, but the most common one is having the opposing Pokémon's disruption counter reach zero.

Many Skills and effects have an effect on the disruption counter.

All disruptions can be erased by Mega Effects. A Stabilize or Swap Skill can remove or replace most disruptions.

Let's shake things up!

If at any time during a stage there are no valid moves available to players (that at least result in a match of three Pokémon icons), the game will say "Let's shake things up!" and restore the Puzzle Area to its initial state. Any pre-set icons and disruptions will be replaced as they were, but other icons will be placed randomly again. The opposing Pokémon's disruption counter is not reset, however. Play then resumes as normal. The clock during time-limited Stages will stop while the initial state is restored. If this happens when moves or time have run out, no matches will occur on the reset Puzzle Area, should they be present, unless a Jewel is spent.

Mega Evolution

Main article: Mega Evolution (Shuffle)

Mega Stones are given out throughout the game, typically awarded when players defeat the corresponding Mega Pokémon used by a Trainer, through Mission Card rewards, or as prizes on special stages. When players capture the corresponding Pokémon (always on a different stage from the Mega Pokémon stage), they can only activate its Mega Evolution by placing it in the leftmost Support position when setting up for a battle. Mega Evolution is activated by matching a minimum number of the Mega Evolving Pokémon's icons. Each matched icon slightly increases the Mega Gauge, found to the left of the Puzzle Area (above on Mobile). Pokémon of the same type that have the Mega Boost(+) Skill can also fill the Mega Gauge. Once the Mega Gauge is full, the Pokémon will Mega Evolve. While Mega Evolved, the Pokémon's regular Skill is replaced by a Mega Effect that activates whenever it is matched.

Ranks

When a stage is completed, a Rank (C, B, A, or S) is given based on the number of moves or amount of time left at the end of the stage. The highest rank ever earned on a particular stage is displayed in the overworld, next to the stage. On certain types of special stages, ranks are not given or displayed in the overworld, usually because the stage played may constantly change or a different ranking system is in place.

  • For most Main Stages and Expert Stages, if the number of moves or amount of time remaining upon competition of the stage is greater than or equal to half the total number/amount of moves/time available (rounded down), an "S-rank" is achieved. All "Puzzle" Main Stages (which usually only have a single solution) will always give an S-Rank upon completion.
  • While a "Moves +5" or "Time +10" item does not affect catch rate percentages, it does affect Rank.
  • S-Rank requirements for special stages tend to vary greatly based on the specific stage.

Expert Stages are unlocked depending on the total number of S-ranks players have achieved on the Main Stage path. S-ranks earned in Expert and special stages have no impact on gameplay, including contributing towards the unlocking of new Expert Stages.

Skills

Main article: Skill (Shuffle)

Skills are special abilities that Pokémon activate when they are combined in a match. There are a wide variety of skills available in Pokémon Shuffle. Typically, the specific skill associated with a specific Pokémon never changes in Pokémon Shuffle. Players may adjust a limited number of Pokémon skills by using "Skill Swapper" Enhancements. The list of skills that may be swapped are unique to each Pokémon.

Support Pokémon

Captured Pokémon that are chosen to be taken into a battle against opposing Pokémon are referred to as Support Pokémon. Only the Pokémon placed in the first, or leftmost, Support position in the selection menu will be able to Mega Evolve. Most stages allow players to choose up to four different Support Pokémon, but in 3-Pokémon Stages, only three may be chosen.

Each stage has four default icons that are used in place of Support Pokémon if the player owns fewer than four Pokémon, or chooses to bring three or fewer Support Pokémon into a stage. Some stages have additional forced Support icons found within the stage. If one of the chosen Support Pokémon is the same as a forced Support Pokémon, the first Pokémon from the stage's default Pokémon list that isn't one of the chosen Support Pokémon is used instead. If a "Complexity -1" item is used, the Pokémon that is in the right-most Support Slot (or would fill in the case of defaults), or the last forced Support Slot, is completely removed from the Puzzle Area (excluding those placed as disruptions).

For most stages, the default Support Pokémon are Pidgey, Happiny, Azurill and Pichu in that order.

Optimize

The Optimize button, located below the chosen Support Pokémon when a stage has been selected on the overworld, is designed to speed up the process of choosing Support Pokémon. Clicking on it will automatically choose four Support Pokémon based on several criteria. A random Pokémon that can Mega Evolve and has the greatest type advantage (i.e. super effective, then normal effectiveness if there are no super effective Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution, and so on) against the selected stage's Pokémon opponent will be chosen for the leftmost slot. The remaining slots will be filled by the Support Pokémon that currently have highest base damage (taking current Attack power and type effectiveness into account, but no other factors). If multiple Pokémon have the same base damage, they will be chosen randomly from within that group. If the player has no Pokémon that are able to Mega Evolve, all four slots will be filled in this way instead.

Type

Main article: Type

Like most Pokémon games, each Pokémon in Pokémon Shuffle has a specific type, which broadly categorizes their background and abilities. In Pokémon Shuffle, Pokémon can only be 1 of the 18 Pokémon types. Each Pokémon's type in Pokémon Shuffle matches one of their two Pokémon types in the main video games. See the List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number for Pokémon Shuffle specific type information.

Effectiveness

In Pokémon Shuffle, Pokémon type affects gameplay by determining how effective the matchup of any two Pokémon will be. Any given matchup can be "Not very effective" (½× damage), Normal effectiveness (1× damage), or "Super effective" (2× damage). See the chart below for more information. (This chart is the same as the Generation VI type effectiveness table, except that 0× effectivenesses become ½×.)

3-Pokémon Stages

Pokémon Shuffle Stages that allow players to only select three Support Pokémon are known as 3-Pokémon Stages. The Complexity -1.png Complexity -1 item is not available in 3-Pokémon Stages. Due to there usually being fewer types of icons in the Puzzle Area, large combos are much more frequent.

Check in

050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Not checking in for a long period of time will allegedly increase the check in bonus (maybe after a certain update). Confirmation/details needed.

Nintendo 3DS players can use the "check in" function once per day (server days end at 6:00 AM UTC the morning after the day ends in UTC time), which connects the player's game to the Internet and gives them a reward for doing so. This normally grants Coin Shuffle.png Coins ×500, but will instead grant Coin Shuffle.png Coins ×1,000 every 10 times players check in. Checking in more than once in a 24-hour period does not contribute toward 1,000-Coin rewards.

If the player checks in after not doing so for 30 days, the check in reward is changed to Coin Shuffle.png Coins ×10,000 and Heart Shuffle.png Hearts ×30 as a welcome-back bonus. This welcome-back bonus was later updated to Coin Shuffle.png Coins ×5,000 coins and Heart Shuffle.png Hearts ×30 instead.

Checking in also checks for any patches that players may not have already installed. If there are any minor patches, the game asks 3DS players if they wish to download extra data. If they do, it automatically downloads and installs it. This is the only way to install minor game patches. If there are any major patches, the game provides a link to a page on the Nintendo eShop to download it and requests that players do so. If there is a major patch that players do not install, players cannot check in. If a patch is released part way through the day and the check in function has already been used, the patch can still be downloaded on that day by checking-in again.

Checking in also synchronizes the system's copy of UTC time with the server, regulating when special stages appear. If the system time is changed, players must check in again to regain access to any active special stages they have, thereby resyncing with the server. Special stages that do not begin on the day a new version is released can be accessed even if players have not checked in that day, as long as the system has the version of the game with the stage programmed (for example, the Hoenn Legends stages appeared at the start time for anyone who had updated the game to the version released on that Monday, regardless of whether or not they had checked in on or after the release time).

Pokémon Shuffle Mobile does not have the "check in" feature, but instead has "Data Update" functionality that runs automatically when the application is loaded. This "Data Update" installs minor and major updates automatically and requires an Internet connection. If no Internet connection is available to perform the "Data Update", Shuffle Mobile will not finish loading.

The track of 15 check in rewards, represented as a stamp card.

Starting in January 2018, the rewards for check in were expanded to include Hearts, Items, and Enhancements. Different rewards are given for each time players check in for up to 15 times, after which the rewards will cycle back to those of the first time. The rewards of 500 and 1,000 Coin Shuffle.png Coins are still present, but operate independently of this reward cycle.

"Check in ten times!" is an ongoing event that began in February 2018. Similar to Celebration Challenge, this event offers a Pikachu (Celebration) as a reward for logging in 10 or more times within a month. However, unlike Celebration Challenge no Hearts or Mega Speedups are given as rewards, and the Pikachu (Celebration) is awarded immediately upon the tenth check in instead of at the start of the following month.

Players who check in 10 times in a month but have already received that month's Pikachu (Celebration) will receive Level Up.png Level Up ×1 instead.

Stages

Main article: Stage (Shuffle)

Stages are the individual puzzles that the player can challenge. Stages are split into three game modes: main stages, expert stages, and special stages. There is also a Survival Mode. Stages can also be differentiated by their win condition: time-limited (win within a certain amount of time) or move-limited (win within a certain number of moves).

Stages typically cost a Heart to play. Some stages may cost more, while certain special stages require Coins instead. Clearing a stage awards Coins, experience, and often extra currencies or items.

Main Stages are essentially the game's story mode and offer the chance to catch a wide variety of Pokémon. These stages are move-limited and there are 700 in total, subdivided into thematic locations. Usually the final battle is against a Mega Evolved Pokémon that rewards a Mega Stone. The first 11 stages make up the tutorial. Harder UX stage versions of the main stages can also be unlocked.

Expert Stages consist of 53 time-limited stages. As more Pokémon are defeated in Main Stages at S-rank, more Expert Stages are revealed.

Special stages are stages that are available for limited time periods. They are unlocked after completing the tutorial and consist of a mix of move-limited and time-limited stages. Special stages are downloaded during the check in process.

Survival Mode is a marathon challenge involving 50 of the early main stages, wherein the player cannot alter their initial selection of Support Pokémon. Survival Mode is unlocked after defeating the first 150 Main Stages. Certain milestones in the challenge garner rewards. Starting Survival Mode costs three Hearts.

Tutorial

050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: In v1.2.0 onward, is the free Heart from Amelia before Stage 11 a bonus Heart or regenerating Heart?

The first 11 Main Stages act as the game's tutorial. The player must first complete the tutorial in order to have full access to all game features. Throughout the tutorial, the player is guided by Amelia. The player starts the game with 5 regenerating Heart Shuffle.png Hearts, 0 bonus Hearts, 0 Coin Shuffle.png Coins, 0 Jewel Shuffle.png Jewels, and no Support Pokémon.

During the first stage, Amelia directs the player's moves, guaranteeing that Espurr is caught. In stage 2, she introduces Coins, items, and type effectiveness. In stage 4, Amelia explains Skills. Stage 5 is rigged to fail so that Amelia can introduce Great Balls, as well as Jewels and the shop. Stage 6 introduces disruptions. Stage 8 explains 3-Pokémon Stages. In Stage 10, the player faces a Trainer with a Mega Audino Audino and is introduced to Mega Evolution. After stage 11, Amelia gives the player a free Heart (5 regenerating Hearts in Shuffle Mobile) and explains the purpose of the check in button that has now appeared (3DS Shuffle only).

Mission Card

Main article: Mission Card

Mission Cards are a feature that were added in Version 1.3.0 in the 3DS version and Version 1.6.0 in Pokémon Shuffle Mobile. Each Mission Card specifies a number of missions, each of which will earn the player a specified amount of Stars for completing it. A mission's requirements must be completed within a single attempt of a stage. Once specified amounts of Stars are earned within the current Mission Card, the player will receive rewards. Only one Mission Card may be active at a time, but different Mission Cards may be swapped to at any time without losing progress on the current one.

Currencies

Main article: Currency (Shuffle)

Heart Shuffle.png Hearts are the game's limiting resource. Starting a stage consumes a heart, and one heart is gained every 30 minutes (to a maximum of 99). Extra hearts may be obtained through other means (up to an independent limit of 99).

Coin Shuffle.png Coins are rewarded for completing stages (much less on repeat clears). Coins can be spent on in-game items and are required to access certain special stages (instead of Hearts). The maximum number of stored Coins is 99,999.

The game's microtransactions are focused around Jewel Shuffle.png Jewels. Jewels can be obtained in-game by completing Trainer Mega Pokémon stages (first time only, 3DS Shuffle only), rarely as prizes or rewards in certain special stages, for obtaining StreetPasses, and occasionally as gifts. They can also be purchased. The maximum number of Jewels is 150.

Jewels can be spent to gain time or turns on stages. They can also be exchanged for Hearts or Coins.

Items

Main article: List of items (Shuffle)

There are broadly three types of items in the game:

  • Items that affect a single stage. These cost Coins, or can be obtained from special stages or check-in bonuses.
  • Items that affect the game for a period of time (bought from the Special Shop). These cost Jewels.
  • Items that affect Pokémon permanently (Enhancements). These can be obtained from later main stages, Survival Mode, or special stages.

The maximum number of any one type of stored item is 99.

Passcodes

050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: The passcode entry option was supposedly removed from the mobile version before March 2017. When exactly did this happen?

The game includes a Passcode function, where players can enter an 8-digit code that grants a reward in-game. It is similar to the "Receive via code" option of the Mystery Gift feature found in the Generation VI core series Pokémon games.

StreetPass

Main article: StreetPass

If StreetPass is enabled for Pokémon Shuffle, whenever players StreetPass another player with StreetPass enabled for Pokémon Shuffle on their Nintendo 3DS they will share data with each other. The last 10 players StreetPassed are added to the StreetPass tag log, which will display their most recently used Pokémon, their total playtime, their number of stages cleared, their number of Pokémon caught, their number of previous StreetPass tags, and the furthest stage they have cleared in Survival Mode, as well as the time they were last StreetPassed.

Additionally, players receive rewards based on the number of StreetPass tags they have gained.

Number of Tags Reward
First StreetPass tag Jewel Shuffle.png Jewel ×1
5 StreetPass tags Heart Shuffle.png Heart ×1
Every 10 StreetPass tags* Heart Shuffle.png Heart ×1
Every 100 StreetPass tags before 10,000 tags total Jewel Shuffle.png Jewel ×1

Further rewards are earned if the same system is met via StreetPass multiple times in a row. These rewards are in addition to any earned for the total number of hits. If multiple Streetpasses are checked at once, these rewards will be nullified, regardless of the order of the Streetpasses.

Tags Reward
3-4 Heart Shuffle.png Heart ×1
5 Heart Shuffle.png Heart ×2

Finally, if there are no StreetPass tags received in a long enough period, more rewards may be earned upon receiving a new tag. This is in addition to any rewards earned for the number of tags. It is currently unknown if this resets the counter of multiple tags from the same system in a row. StreetPass tags are not counted by the game until the menu is opened.

Days between tags Reward
5 Days* Heart Shuffle.png Heart ×2

In Pokémon Shuffle Mobile, Facebook integration or "Friend Codes" (Version 1.6.0 onward) is used instead of StreetPass.

In the 3DS version from Version 1.4.0 onward, if a StreetPassed player has not updated to 1.4.0 then they will not be added to the StreetPass List and the pass will not count towards Heart or Jewel rewards. However, the 3DS home menu icon will still display a green dot, and the records tab visible on the world map will still display a blue dot if such a pass is received.

Version history

Main article: Pokémon Shuffle/Version history

For a full history of all content released in Pokémon Shuffle, please see Pokémon Shuffle/Version history.

Post-shutdown functionality

As of March 31, 2023 at 6:00 am UTC, the servers for the 3DS version have been shut down. This impacts several of the game's functions.

Check in

Check in and its associated item rewards are no longer available. By extension, the monthly "Check in ten times!" costumed Pikachu are also no longer obtainable by legitimate means.

Updating

The version of Pokémon Shuffle available on the eShop was version 1.5.0. Updates 1.5.1 - 1.5.11 could only be obtained by checking in - these updates are installed as "extra data", rather than the update format used by other 3DS games.

Due to check in no longer being available, a copy of Shuffle is unable to update its version after the shutdown.

Version 1.5.0 lacks a substantial amount of data from later versions, including:

  • Main stages 641-700, EX stage 53, and UX stages 1–700
  • All special stage data, including the automated 24-week cycle.

Time offset lockout

The 3DS's time used in games and on the home menu is determined by its internal RTC time (determined when the system is manufactured), combined with a user-entered time offset.

When Pokémon Shuffle is first opened, it creates a save file and records the current user time offset. Whenever the game is opened again, it checks to ensure that this offset has not changed.

If the system clock is changed in system settings, the system's time offset is changed, while RTC remains the same. Upon opening Shuffle again, the mismatched offset will be detected, and special stages will be inaccessible until the player checks in to the game's servers to update the save file's offset. This lockout is also activated if the system's battery is removed or replaced. However, the data for special stages is still installed, just not accessible.

During the game's life, data for two weeks' worth of stages would be downloaded at a time, with the stages moving in or out of availability according to the system clock. This offset-checking would prevent users from "time traveling" to the latter week earlier than intended.

Since check in is no longer possible after the shutdown, it is not possible to undo this lockout by legitimate means. However, the lockout is controlled by a single value in the save file, which can be edited through hacking to undo the lockout. The lockout can also be avoided by using a hacking tool to change the offset back to its prior value before opening Shuffle again - or by changing the RTC time directly, which would change the 3DS's time but leave the offset unchanged.

Special Stage availability

Starting with version 1.5.7, special stages cycle automatically on a 24-week schedule, according to the system clock. Additionally, certain events will occur on specific days of the year, such as around Halloween or Christmas. These events occur without requiring any additional check in to the game's servers, as long as the time offset lockout is not active.

Competitive stages still appear in the cycling schedule after the shutdown, but since they require connecting to the server in order to enter them, they can no longer be played after the shutdown. The items from these competitions, some of which are exclusive Mega Stones, are therefore no longer obtainable by legitimate means.

Jewels

It is no longer possible to purchase additional Jewels, due to the closure of the 3DS eShop. Since check in is no longer available, there is also no longer a renewable source of free Jewels.

The Shop and Special Shop do not use an internet connection, so any already-owned Jewels can still be spent there.

Trivia

  • Pokémon Shuffle Mobile was discontinued in Vietnam on January 31, 2020.[7]
  • While the final content update was released in February 2018, the last Pokémon, Marshadow, was not obtainable until July 2018 due to its placement in week 23 of the 24-week schedule.
  • With 802 species of Pokémon included, this game has more Pokémon obtainable than any other Pokémon game without the use of other games.
  • The 12 "Celebration" Pikachu are based on the Pikachu Celebrations line of plush toys, where each toy celebrated a specific month of the year. In Shuffle, each of these Pikachu are obtained by checking in 10 times during the corresponding plush toy's month.
  • When damage is dealt, the damage number is displayed in three different places, all of which have different display caps: at the site of the match on the bottom screen (cap of 9,999), on the enemy Pokémon when the projectile from a match hits it on the top screen (cap of 99,999), and added to the score on the top screen (cap unknown).
  • The "time remaining" counter rounds differently on special stages and in the Special Shop: special stages will round the amount of days down, while the Special Shop will round the amount of days up by 1. For example, if special stages would say that 3 days are remaining, then the Special Shop would say 4 days are remaining, even though both are counting down to the same time (Tuesday at 6:00 AM UTC). In the last 24 hours of a rotation week, the two counters switch to a format of hours, minutes, and seconds, and they are synchronized.
