Skills (Japanese: 能力 Skill) are a characteristic each Pokémon have in the game Pokémon Shuffle that are similar to Abilities in the core series games. Every species of Pokémon has one Skill. When a Pokémon Mega Evolves, its regular Skill no longer activates as its Mega Effect activates instead.

Unused Skills

These Skills exist with the game data, but are not used by any Pokémon. They may be used by a Pokémon in a future update. Fearless and Disrupt Buster were listed in the search function of the Pokémon List prior to verson 1.2.0. The other unused Skills were introduced in verson 1.2.0.

Mega Effects

Disruptions can be erased if they are in a tile targeted by the effect. Each Pokémon or disruption erased boosts the amount of damage dealt to the opponent, but empty tiles do not count. The Pokémon that make the match that triggers the Mega Effects are also erased before they can combo, but do not boost the amount of damage done beyond a non-Mega match. A Mega-Match and its resulting effect can take priority over other matches; to prevent this, the non-Mega match must trigger first by moving the icon to complete that match so the Mega match does not disrupt it.
