Special Stages (Japanese: イベントステージ Event Stages) are stages in Pokémon Shuffle that are made available periodically for a limited time, usually giving access to Pokémon that cannot otherwise be found in the Main Stages or Expert Stages. There are many different kinds of Special Stages, some of which have formats that are significantly different from standard stages.

Special Stages are downloaded when the player uses the Check in function, which appears after clearing the first 11 stages of the game, and chooses to update to the latest version. Each stage can only be played during its limited event period, after which it will disappear from the Special Stage screen. Each period begins at 6:00 UTC on the first day of the event and ends at 6:00 UTC on the last day (excluding Competitive Stages, which end at 5:00 UTC). All Special Stages use "SP" as their stage number. Most have a first clear payout of 200 Coins. Additionally, some stages will grant the player prizes if certain conditions are met.

Pokémon Shuffle Mobile was released on August 25, 2015. Early in its life-cycle, it ran events on a different schedule from Pokémon Shuffle. Unless explicitly noted, events released after this date can be assumed to be run on both platforms. Events preceding this date were only available on the 3DS version.

Commemorative Event

Commemorative Event (Japanese: 記念イベント Commemorative Event) is a type of Special Stage that covers events that celebrate various events and milestones.

"Diancie Is Set to Dazzle!" was the first event to be released under this listing, celebrating 5 million downloads of the 3DS version. A bonus reward of 1 Jewel was given upon the first successful completion of the stage.

the "Mew Manifests!" event was repeated under this listing in the 3DS version from September 18 to 28, 2015 to celebrate the launch of Pokémon Shuffle Mobile. The same event was repeated under the new title "Mew Appears" from February 15 to March 8, 2016 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pokémon Red and Blue, and from August 9 to 23, 2016 in the 3DS version to celebrate 6 million downloads of the game in August 2016.

The "Celebi Enters!" event was released in both versions from October 26 to November 9, 2015 to celebrate Pokémon Shuffle Mobile reaching 4 million downloads. A bonus reward of 1,000 Coins was given upon the first successful completion of the stage. This was later repeated in the Mobile version (renamed to "Celebi Appears!") to celebrate 8 million downloads in July 2016.

The "A Legendary Opportunity" and "Shaymin Appears" events, which featured Mewtwo and Shaymin (Land Forme), respectively were released to celebrate Pokémon Shuffle Mobile reaching 5 million downloads. The goal behind Mewtwo's stage was to allow every player to be able to catch Mewtwo for free. As such, all Items were free. Shaymin was repeated from February 7 to 21, 2017 in both verions to celebrate the second anniversary of the game.

The "Commemorative Event" event, featuring Manaphy, was released on the Mobile version in April 2016 to celebrate Pokémon Shuffle Mobile reaching 7 million downloads. This was later repeated in the Mobile version (renamed to "Manaphy Appears") to celebrate 12 million downloads in November 2016.

The "Pikachu Appears" and "Shaymin (Sky Forme) Appears" events, featuring Happy version of Pikachu and Shaymin (Sky Forme), were released on the Mobile version in September 2016 to celebrate Pokémon Shuffle Mobile reaching 10 million downloads.

The "Pikachu Appears", featuring the Smiling version of Pikachu, was released for both verions to celebrate the second anniversary of the game.

Launch Special: Meet Mew

Launch Special: Meet Mew (Japanese: 発売記念イベント ミュウ Launch Event: Mew) was one of the first Special Stages released in Pokémon Shuffle (alongside The Daily Pokémon (#1)), meant to commemorate the launch of the game. In the 3DS version, the event initially ran from February 18 to March 9, 2015 and gave a bonus of 1,000 Coins upon defeat, once per day. After that period ended, the event was extended to March 23, 2015 as "Mew Strikes Again" and limited the 1,000 Coin bonus to the first completion only.

In Pokémon Shuffle Mobile, this stage (called Launch Special Stage (Japanese: 配信記念ステージ Distribution Commemorative Stage)) was initially made available from August 24 to September 28, 2015 to commemorate the game's mobile release. This time, the initial bonus reward for clearing the stage was one Jewel. After its period ended, it was also extended to October 12, 2015 under the name "Mew Strikes Again", similar to the 3DS version. The bonus reward for the first clear of this repeat was also one Jewel.

Mew's stage was later repeated for both versions under both the Commemorative Event and the Great Challenge listings.

Daily Pokémon

The Daily Pokémon (Japanese: 日替わりポケモン Daily Pokémon) is a type of Special Stage that takes place on weekdays only. The cost per play is 1 Heart. Each event offers a set of five Pokémon that can be caught, with each one only appearing on a specific day of the week.

Thus far, there have been six different regular Daily Pokémon events. In October 2016, the first "Special Daily Pokémon" event was released, allowing players to catch special versions of Pokémon. These versions are usually winking at the player, with the exception of a sleeping Pikachu in the second version of the event. There have so far been three such "special" events.

The Daily Pokémon (#1)

The Daily Pokémon (#1) was one of the first Special Stage events (alongside "Launch Event: Meet Mew"). This event features all of the appliance forms of Rotom.

The Daily Pokémon (#5)

The Daily Pokémon (#5) features Dunsparce, Qwilfish, Durant, Heatmor, and Maractus.

This set of Pokémon includes a quirk: with the exception of Dunsparce, the Pokémon opponent will spawn Coins as disruptions if the player achieves a combo of at least four matches while the number of moves remaining is equal to or greater than the default number of moves given. Additionally, in these stages, the Pokémon from the previous day's stage appears as part of the stage's initial layout. If the previous day's Pokémon is brought as a Support Pokémon, it will trigger the requisite combo, allowing the player to potentially obtain a small Coin bonus with each play.

Escalation Battle

Main article: Escalation Battle

An Evolving Challenge!

An Evolving Challenge! (Japanese: 進化チャレンジ Evolving Challenge) is a type of Special Stage that, so far, has been limited to the Tepig evolution family. The event stages themselves have all been move-limited, though Emboar is unique in that, similar to Escalation Battles, its base catch rate slightly increases every time its stage is cleared.

Great Challenge

Great Challenge (Japanese: スーパーチャレンジ Super Challenge) is a type of Special Stage that includes many event stages that feature a wide variety of powerful Pokémon, including many Legendary and Mythical Pokémon. Each of these stages are move-limited, and require either Hearts or Coins to play. Provided that the player has enough of those resources, the stages may be played as often as the player likes during the event period. Each stage's cost to play is listed in the Notes section of the table below (if nothing is listed, the stage costs one Heart to play). Early in the game's life, many of these stages gave a bonus reward after completing the stage for the first time.

In the 3DS version, every Great Challenge stage cost one Heart per play prior to Version 1.3.10. Afterwards, most Great Challenge stages cost Coins to play instead.

In the Mobile version, many of these stages required multiple Hearts or Coins and one Heart to be played in early versions. The first stage in the Mobile version to require only Coins to play was the November repeat of the "Keldeo Rears its Head" event.

High-Speed Challenge

High-Speed Challenge (Japanese: ハイスピードチャレンジ High-Speed Challenge) is a type of Special Stage that can be considered to be a variant of Great Challenge. Like Great Challenges, these event stages require either Hearts or Coins to play and feature powerful Pokémon. However, every High-Speed Challenge is a time-limited stage instead of a move-limited one.

Special Challenge

Special Challenge (Japanese: スペシャルチャレンジ Special Challenge) is a type of Special Stage that can be considered to be a variant of Great Challenge. These stages feature Pokémon that were already available in the Expert Stages or Main Stages, though the stages are move-limited instead of time-limited and have different stage data. The Pokémon in these stages can occasionally drop a Personalized Skill Booster, or rarely a Raise Max Level, if it has already been caught and the player plays the stage again.

Ultra Challenge

Ultra Challenge (Japanese: ハイパーチャレンジ Hyper Challenge) is a type of Special Stage that can be considered to be a variant of Great Challenge. Like Great Challenges, these event stages are all move-limited, require either Hearts or Coins to play, and feature powerful Pokémon. However, the Pokémon that are featured in Ultra Challenge stages are more powerful in terms of raw strength compared to those that appear in Great Challenges, with each of the featured Pokémon being among the few Pokémon that have an Attack Power of 90 at Level 1.

In the 3DS version, the first run of the Arceus stage gave 1,000 Coins as a bonus reward after completing the stage for the first time.

One Chance a Day!

One Chance a Day! (Japanese: 1日ワンチャン! One day, one chance!) is a type of Special Stage that can only be played once per 24-hour period, and usually only lasts for a period of four days. Otherwise, the stages are similar to Great Challenges.

The event debuted on May 7, 2015 under the event name "Seize Hold of Pinsir" in the 1.1.11 update. On July 6, 2015, "Jump on a Chance for Jirachi" became the second such stage. Pinsir returned on September 29, 2015 ("Seize Hold of Pinsir"), February 17, 2016 and May 11, 2016 ("Pinsir Appears"). Jirachi appeared for the first time in Mobile and returned to 3DS ("Jirachi Appears!") from July 6 to 9, 2016 and August 6 to 9, 2016.

A Great Chance a Day!

The "A Great Chance a Day!" (previously "One Great Chance a Day!" in 2015) stages are a variant of the "One chance a day!" format. The main difference is that the base catch rate for the featured Pokémon usually increases slightly with each passing day. Some Pokémon would drop different Items or Enhancements each day if they had already been caught.

Unlike other event types, stages that have been featured under this event type have been both move-limited and time-limited stages. From June 21, 2016 onwards, the Pokémon featured in these stages have been able to rarely drop a Mega Speedup during the stage if they had already been caught. Additionally, they are guaranteed to drop at least one Personalized Skill Booster.

Pokémon Safari

Pokémon Safari (Japanese: ポケモンサファリ Pokémon Safari) is a type of Special Stage in which a number of Pokémon are available through a single stage on the overworld, denoted by a question mark. The cost per play is 1 Heart. Whenever a Safari stage is accessed, the player will battle one of the opponents that can appear in it, chosen at random. Different Pokémon have different rates of appearance, and there is no way to know which Pokémon will appear before playing. Due to the nature of these stages, the Optimize button is unavailable.

There have been ten different Pokémon Safari events thus far, though new Pokémon have been added to old Safaris on repeat runs. All but one Safari have been exclusively 3-Pokémon stages.

Pokémon Safari Appears!

There were three releases of the Pokémon Safari that appeared under this event title.

First release

The first Pokémon Safari debuted in the 3DS version from April 20 to May 2, 2015. This Safari returned from August 31 to September 14, 2015. During the re-release, the Mega Sharpedo Competitive Stage, which could allow players to earn a Sharpedonite, became available, running from September 7 to 14, 2015. This version was released again from January 19 to February 2, 2016, under the event name "Head Back into the Safari!" on 3DS and "A New Pokémon Safari Appears!" in the mobile version, running for the first time in the Mobile version.

This Safari also returned from November 1 to 15, 2016, but with the addition of Sunkern and Sunflora. During this run, the Pokémon opponents could occasionally Exp. Booster S, Exp. Booster M or Exp. Booster L if the player had already caught that Pokémon.

A New Pokémon Safari!

First release

The fourth Pokémon Safari was the first to use a different event title, and was available from October 12 to 26, 2015. This version of the Pokémon Safari was also the first to be released in Pokémon Shuffle Mobile. This was repeated under the event name "Head Back into the Safari!" from April 26 to May 10, 2016 for both versions.

Though Duskull and Dusclops were part of this Safari, Dusknoir was not; it was instead released as a Great Challenge stage at the same time as the Safari.

Though Fletchling and Fletchinder were part of this Safari, Talonflame was not; it was instead released as a High-Speed Challenge stage at the same time as the Safari.

This Safari was repeated from November 15 to 29, 2016. During this run, the Pokémon opponents could occasionally drop an Exp. Booster S, Exp. Booster M or Exp. Booster L if the player had already caught that Pokémon. This Pokémon Safari is unique, where it is currently the only Safari not to be a 3-Pokémon Stage.

Booster M or Exp. Booster L if the player had already caught that Pokémon. It was repeated from April 4 to 18, 2017.

In this Safari, each stage is set up such that if the Pokémon featured in it is brought as a Support Pokémon, a match will always be made at the start of the stage, triggering the opponent Pokémon to disrupt with multiple Coins. If not, the Pokémon will instead disrupt with a single Coin after the first move has been made.

Try 'Em Items Stage

Try 'Em Items Stage (Japanese: アイテムフリーステージ Free Items Stage) is a type of Special Stage event that provides a special opportunity for players to use items for free in attempts to capture a Pokémon. The stage was not available on weekends.

During the initial four weeks of Wobbuffet's availability on the 3DS version, the variety of items available increased every Monday; for instance, at initial release, the only item available was a Mega Start. Wobbuffet's HP and difficulty increased with the addition of new items. Wobbuffet gave a clear reward of only one Coin per attempt.

In its initial Pokémon Shuffle Mobile and all repeat runs on both versions, the stage was made available with all four items on weekdays from August 31 to September 5, 2015 and again from February 16 to March 8, 2016.

All four items above were immediately available for both weeks of Carnivine's event with no stage differences. The Coin reward was 100 Coins for the first completion of this stage with no reward at all on later attempts. It was possible to earn the 100 Coins a second time after the 1.2.15 update became available on September 4.

During the July/August 2016 repeats of these stages, the stages required no Hearts to play.

From November 22, 2016 onwards (ver. 1.3.28 (3DS)/1.8.12 (Mobile)), Wobbuffet and Carnivine began appearing for a week alternatetively from Tuesday to the next Tuesday.

Weekly resource events

Meowth's Coin Mania

Meowth's Coin Mania (Japanese: ニャースコインゲット Nyarth's Coin GET) is a Special Stage that allows the player to obtain a large number of Coins in a single stage. The stage is only available during the 24-hour period in which it becomes available, and it may only be played a limited number times per period. This Meowth has an unlimited amount of HP, and thus cannot be "defeated" or caught.

Coins appear in this stage as a 5th Support Icon, meaning that Coins will appear pseudo-randomly among the other Support Pokémon on the initial board and in the skyfall. If the player gets a combo of 3 or more, Meowth will disrupt and replace three or (less frequently) five non-Coin icons currently on the board within two adjacent columns with Coins. Since this disruption does not rely on a countdown, if the disruption causes another combo of 3 or more, Meowth will disrupt repeatedly.

After completion of the stage, if there are no more attempts available, it will disappear until the next day it is available. On certain versions of the game, the stage will become locked after the first time it is played per period, with additional attempts becoming unlocked if the player spends a Jewel.

In the 3DS version, the initial period of availability was from February 21 to March 15, 2015, available on both Saturday and Sunday each week. On March 21, 2015, its availability was extended indefinitely. Starting in version 1.2.1, the stage is only available once each Sunday, with Tons of Exp. Points available on Saturdays instead. Starting on April 3, 2016, a Jewel can be spent to unlock this stage for three more attempts per period.

In Pokémon Shuffle Mobile, the stage is available on both Saturdays and Sundays but if Victini comes on a Saturday this stage appears on the Sunday only. The stage can be played once per day. Two additional attempts can be made per day in exchange for a Jewel for each attempt. Starting on January 31, 2016, a Jewel can be spent to unlock this stage for three more attempts instead of two. As of Mobile version 1.6.3, this stage is only available on Sundays.

In version 1.3.36 (3DS)/1.9.7 (Mobile), on February 18, 2017, the event period was temporarily changed to Saturday until Monday to celebrate the game's 2nd anniversary and this change also applied to the following week on February 25, 2017. However, in version 1.3.38 (3DS)/1.9.10 (Mobile), the period was changed again to Fridays until Mondays, effective from March 3, 2017. This was also the new regular event period and was stated in the Japanese official website.

Pokémon Type Moves EXP Cost Availability
Meowth Meowth Normal 10 0 1 Heart Currently every Friday 6:00 AM to Monday 6:00 AM UTC (one Jewel for three more attempts per period)

Skill Booster M Stage!

Skill Booster M Stage! (Japanese: スキルパワーMゲットステージ Skill Power M GET Stage) (previously "Skill Booster S Stage!" until December 18, 2016) is a Special Stage featuring Eevee which, if cleared, will allow the player to obtain one or more Skill Booster Enhancements. During the stage, Eevee may drop up to three Skill Boosters - one Skill Booster S is guaranteed, but one additional Skill Booster S and one Skill Booster M each also have a chance to be dropped.

Similar to Meowth's Coin Mania and Tons of Exp. Points, the stage is only available during a 24-hour period. After each attempt of the stage, it will become locked; up to five Jewels may be spent to unlock the stage for additional attempts, with the stage disappearing after the sixth attempt. This stage first became available on June 9, 2016 and currently returns every Sunday.

Prior to Version 1.3.24 (3DS)/1.8.7 (Mobile), it was held on Thursdays and the maximum number of Jewels that could be used to unlock the stage was three. During this period, the stage was initially only occasionally available on Thursdays, at some point changing to be available every Thursday.

From version 1.3.31 (3DS)/1.9.2 (Mobile), a Skill Booster M is guaranteed to be dropped instead. Moverover, the event periods were extended for competive stage weeks and nine jewels can be spent to unlock the stage for nine more attempts during this period.

In version 1.3.36 (3DS)/1.9.7 (Mobile), on February 12 and 19, 2017, the event periods were temporarily changed to Sundays until Wednesdays to celebrate the game's 2nd anniversary. It returned to the previous schedule on February 26, 2017. However, in version 1.3.38 (3DS)/1.9.10 (Mobile), the period was changed again to Saturdays until Wednesdays, regardless of whether there was a competitive stage on the week, effective from March 4, 2017. This was also the new regular event period and was stated in the Japanese official website.

Tons of Exp. Points

Tons of Exp. Points (Japanese: ビクティニで経験値ゲット Victini's Experience Points GET) is a Special Stage that allows a player to obtain a large number of experience points with a single Heart, as well as a chance to catch the Mythical Pokémon Victini. The stage operates similarly to Meowth's Coin Mania and Skill Booster S Stage! in that the stage appears in 24-hour periods and can only be played a limited number of times in each period, after which it disappears. In certain versions of the game, the stage can only be played once per period; in others it can be played multiple times per period, but the stage will be locked after each attempt, requiring a Jewel to unlock.

In the 3DS version, the event "Exp. Points from Victini!" was made available on May 30, 2015 for the first time. From May 30, 2015 to March 26, the stage was only able to be played once per 24-hour period. From April 2, 2016 to July 16, 2016, the stage became locked after each attempt, and players could spend a Jewel to unlock it for one additional attempt per Jewel. During this period, the maximum number of Jewels that could be spent was three per 24-hour period. The stage is available every Saturday for 24 hours (Saturday 6:00 AM to Sunday 6:00 AM UTC time).

In the Mobile version, Victini first became available in version 1.2.4. While the stage data was the same, players could spend up to two Jewels for one additional attempt per Jewel in each 24-hour period. From January 30, 2016 to July 16, 2016, the total number of Jewels that could be spent was increased to three.

From July 19, 2016 onwards, the total number of Jewels that could be spent to unlock additional attempts was increased to five in both versions.

Prior to Mobile version 1.6.3, Victini appeared every other Saturday; thereafter it became a regular weekly event like in the 3DS version. Starting on May 31, 2016, Victini also began to appear occasionally on Tuesday in both versions. Thus far, its Tuesday appearances have coincided with Competitive Stages.

From August 2, 2016 onwards (ver. 1.3.16 (3DS)/1.7.4 (Mobile)), the total experience gained from the stage was increased by 25%.

From November 22, 2016 onwards (ver. 1.3.28 (3DS)/1.8.12 (Mobile)), it became a regular event for competive stage week, too and Victini appeared on both Tuesdays (for 24 hours and five jewels can be used to unlock additional attempts) and Saturdays (to Tuesdays and nine jewels can be used.)

From December 20, 2016 onwards (ver. 1.3.31 (3DS)/1.9.2 (Mobile)), the total experience gained from the stage was doubled.

In version 1.3.36 (3DS)/1.9.7 (Mobile), on February 11 and 18, 2017, the event period were temporarily changed to Saturdays until Wednesdays to celebrate the game's 2nd anniversary. It returned to the previous schedule on February 25, 2017. However, in version 1.3.38 (3DS)/1.9.10 (Mobile), the period was changed again to Sundays until Wednesdays, regardless of whether there was a competitive stage on the week, effective from March 5, 2017. This was also the new regular event period and was stated in the Japanese official website.
