Talk:Dartrix (Pokémon)

2016-10-04T15:58:46Z

HQna: /* Name origin - German */ new section

Dartrix is extremely sensitive to other presences in the area and can detect opponents behind it and throw feathers to strike them without even seeing them. This Pokémon conceals sharp-bladed feathers inside its wings, showing astounding precision as it sends them flying in attack. And it goes beyond propelling its blade quills in simple straight lines—it can even bend these feathers to change their trajectories!

Revealing a certain snobbiness in its personality, Dartrix cares a great deal about its appearance, grooming its feathers in every spare moment. In truth, it’s also a bit of a birdbrain, with a tendency to bungle things up. Once it makes a mistake, it sometimes gets into a desperate struggle to gloss over the situation and ends up making a bigger mess than ever.

At times, this Pokémon feels so bothered by its dirty or ruffled feathers that it can’t focus on battle. When it loses its focus, it sometimes even retires from the battle on the spot! It’s up to each Trainer to help Dartrix overcome this troublesome stage. If this Pokémon is with a Trainer who helps it through, its strength will grow hugely!

:Thanks, but we can seen exactly what it says on the site for ourselves. Information like this should be put in the editor's own words and then cited before being added (see other Gen VII Pokemon for reference). In proper writing, we'd have to put all of that in quotations and state in the text where it was from if we were to copy it word for word like that. That goes against the general style of the wiki.

I'd say the name is composed of ''arbor'' (Latin for tree) and the English word ''toss''. At least I can't think of anything else.

Talk:Lurantis (Pokémon)

2016-08-02T18:17:26Z

HQna:

== Basis ==

Despite the lack of Bug typing, it's almost definitely based on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hymenopus_coronatus
Name may possibly be a combination of lure, allure, or ''fleur'' (French for flower) and mantis. [[User:Chartreux|Chartreux]] ([[User talk:Chartreux|talk]]) 18:44, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
::I definitely saw "orchid mantis" when Lurantis was revealed. However, being the “Grass Sickle Pokémon”, its scythe-like claws and self-disciplinary behavior may also be a reference to martial arts involving use of the kama (Japanese term for sickle), which can be used in pairs much like how a mantis has a claw on each hand.
::The latter half of Lurantis’ Japanese name “Rarantesu” might derive from “tetsu (鉄)” – one of the Japanese words for “beautiful”. I honestly couldn’t find out what the first part of its name derives from. If any of you have any idea, please share! - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 02:06, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

'''Lurantis'''

'''Biology'''
Lurantis draws opponents near to itself with its flowerlike appearance and aroma—and then it takes them down. It’s said to be the most gorgeous of all Grass-type Pokémon, due to its brilliant coloration and elegant moves. Lurantis’s appearance is maintained through detailed grooming. It will trust a Trainer who does a good job of caring for it, but it will apparently have a difficult time growing closer to a lazy Trainer.

Lurantis can learn Solar Blade, a move that releases a blade-shaped beam to mince up its foes. The blade is so sharp it is said it can slice a rock in half! Solar Blade is a move that no Pokémon has been able to learn before. With Solar Blade, Lurantis absorbs energy from the sun on the first move and then unleashes a powerful attack on the second turn. Lurantis is the Totem Pokémon of Lush Jungle, the site of an Akala Island trial. It will overwhelm trial-goers with the powerful combos it unleashes with the Pokémon allies it calls.

(from Official Pokemon Sun and Moon website)

Footnote:
I personally think that it is not that it is a mantis looking like a plant, but the other way around. It is not said that they eat other Pokemon, the description just mentioned that it takes them down. This explains the Grass-Type instead of Bug/Grass or Bug/Fairy. The reason is shown below from my understanding on the design concept.

'''Origin'''
Lurantis is likely mainly based on an orchid flower, designed with the shape and coloration of an orchid mantis. The mantis-like appearance is likely to ward other Pokemon away, looking as ferocious as a mantis but it is truly a plant.
However, due to the bloom sickle plant description, it may be designed with reference to monkey pods, sicklepod shrub or a sicklepod rockcrest plant.

The face and body resembles an orchid flower of Laelia Grandis which has pink flowers with blade-like petals.
The pink-red arms are pods that look like mantis arms or forelegs, much like the monkey pod (Pithecellobium dulce) which is a species invasive to Hawaii. There are pink wings that look like flower petals.
The sicklepod shrub is a leguminous flowering tropical species with sickle-moon shaped leaves and produces pods. Some relating species (such as Adenanthera pavoninacan) grow into tall trees and can produce bright red beans or seeds.
The sicklepod rockcress have pink flowers.

== name origin (german) ==
While I see the idea behind the meaning of "dea" (praying mantis are called "Gottesanbeterinnen" in German which would literally translate to "females who pray to god"), I'd say that's a stretch considering the names in other languages. I would say the "-dea" suffix just comes from "Orchidee" (orchid) just like in any other language as well ;-) ([[User:HQna|HQna]] ([[User talk:HQna|talk]]) 18:16, 2 August 2016 (UTC))

Well, on the homepage it does say "Lunala’s Ability is Shadow Shield, a new Ability that no previous Pokémon has had." So technically you would be correct, because we still don't know for certain no other pokemon of the seventh generation has this ability.

{{Bulbanews|game}}

'''Pokémon Picross''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンピクロス''' ''Pokémon Picross'') is a {{wp|freemium}} [[Nintendo 3DS]] game that was released in Japan on December 2, 2015, in North America and Europe on December 3, 2015, and in Australia on December 4, 2015. A ''picross'', from ''picture'' and ''crossword'', is a genre of puzzle games, also known as a {{wp|nonogram}}. It was developed by [[Jupiter Corporation]].

The game features at least 300 puzzles featuring many species of Pokémon available at the time of release, including all [[Legendary Pokémon]], [[Legendary Pokémon|Mythical Pokémon]], and [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon as of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

The game was announced in the November 12, 2015 [[Nintendo Direct]].

==Blurb==
''Pokémon Picross is a puzzle game where you reveal a hidden Pokémon illustration. Once you solve an illustration of a Pokémon, you can collect that Pokémon. Collected Pokémon help you solve more difficult puzzles. With 300+ standard Pokémon puzzles, a significantly harder advanced mode, and Daily Training, this game will supply hours of enjoyment.''

==Gameplay==
Each puzzle consists of a grid of squares. To complete a puzzle, particular squares are shaded in to make some sort of picture. In each puzzle, there are numbers adjacent to each row or column which indicate how many squares in each corresponding row or column need to be shaded. For the tutorial area and for some puzzles later on, [[Professor Tetra]] is there to guide the player; players can opt to skip the tutorials and just solve the puzzles without help.

Pokémon are acquired as a puzzle is successfully completed, and captured Pokémon can be used to reveal clues in later puzzles using one of 12 different skills; after doing this, they become tired and must recharge over time. Mega Evolution is also confirmed to be an element of gameplay.

Squirtle and Eevee are not presented immediately as puzzles, but instead are given to the player upon leaving the tutorial area for the first time. The player is required to use their skills as a tutorial for Stage 01-01. Their puzzles are shown later.

==Picrites==
Picrites are rare stones with magical power that can be obtained in-game or purchased in the Nintendo eShop. Picrites allow players to access new areas and can speed up the recovery of any tired non-Legendary and non-Mythical Pokémon's skill. Up to 5,000 Picrites can be purchased (equivalent to ¥3,750). Eventually, infinite Picrites are unlocked; after this, the player only needs to wait for their Pokemon skills to recharge and other than that they won't have to wait for anything in the game. This method of using in-game currency is similar to the format used by [[Pokémon Rumble World]] in that Diamonds are used in that game to access new areas, and that game is also programmed with a Diamonds purchasing cap.

Picrites are rewarded in-game by completing a stage; many stages offers a first time clear reward of 30 Picrites. Players may also earn additional Picrites by completing goals with each successful solve. For instance, a puzzle may need to be solved in five minutes or less; doing so earns the player bonus Picrites. There may also be multiple missions on a single puzzle; completing them all at the same time can earn more Picrites. Each goal has a specific number of Picrites as a bonus, which is indicated next to that goal.

It is possible to obtain Picrites through the Nintendo eShop for varying costs. Similar to [[Pokémon Rumble World]], there are two options that are one-time use packages. The different options for purchase are as follows:

|-
! style="background:#{{yellow color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" colspan="6" |
|}

==Energy==
Energy controls how many squares players are able to paint in puzzles. When encountering a Pokémon in the field, painting a square black uses one piece of energy. If a player runs out of energy, no more squares can be painted, and therefore no puzzles solved. Each piece of energy takes a period of 1 minute to regenerate, meaning that it would take three hours and twenty minutes to regenerate 200 pieces of energy, an expansion which Tetra forces the player to buy after clearing S01-02 for the first time to show it off. Energy can be refilled by pressing Y on the map screen and selecting to refill the energy gauge, but this costs the player 10 Picrites per refill. Players may instead opt to upgrade their energy meters:

==Puzzles==
{{main|Pokémon Picross Stages}}
The main game features 312 puzzles divided into 31 areas (including the tutorial). In regular play, a Pokémon whose puzzle is completed is automatically caught.

===Main Game===
The first area in the game, Area 00, serves as a tutorial area and has puzzles featuring various items in the Pokémon games. The first four puzzles are mainly tutorial-driven, whereas the fifth puzzle is the first puzzle the player can really solve on his or her own. Stage 01-01 makes the player use Pokémon skills to show them off. Throughout the tutorial and for the first two Pokémon stages, the player can earn Picrites as a reward; after this, there are no Picrites given for puzzle solving and the player must earn bonus Picrites through challenges or purchase them directly.

====Passwords====
There is a password function built into the game. Passwords can be entered using one of two methods: players can either tap a stage requiring a password to enter it, or players can tap the first icon on the bottom of the screen and click the password button.

There are four passwords in the game, all of which are region-locked:
{| class="roundy" style="background:#{{yellow color}}; border:3px solid #{{skill color}}"

|}

Once a player has entered all four passwords for his or her region, the password button is removed as the player is informed that all passwords have been entered. This means there are currently no passwords to unlock bonus Picrites or for any other purposes.

====Mega Pencil====
There are 48 puzzles for all Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]]. These puzzles require the Mega Pencil. Upon tapping any of these puzzles, [[Professor Tetra]] points out her ability to manufacture one at the cost of 500 Picrites. The player can opt to decline or accept this proposition and whether to play the puzzles at that time or not. Once the player has a Mega Pencil, it is not necessary to obtain another one to do additional puzzles involving Mega Evolution. Once the Mega Pencil is obtained, clicking a Mega Evolution puzzle results in Tetra appearing to prompt the player, saying, "Pokémon can Mega Evolve! Let's have it undergo Mega Evolution." Players can also tap and drag on a puzzle location and drag (with or without the Mega Pencil) to bypass Tetra's comments.

All Mega Evolution puzzles have missions like every other puzzle, which provide 288 Picrites total as rewards. Additionally, 21 puzzles require Mega Evolved Pokémon, 16 of which are different puzzles, meaning even more Picrites can be earned on those puzzles. Additionally, six medals pertain to Mega Evolution while seven others involve certain teams or full completion in some fashion, at a value of 3 Picrites apiece. In total, it's possible to earn 381 Picrites with the Mega Pencil that cannot otherwise be earned in any way, making the purchase value of the Mega Pencil about 119 Picrites after completing the game.

Once a Pokémon's Mega Evolution is obtained, the icons for both the regular form and the Mega Evolution appear in the Pokémon list. Players can choose either to be in the party; however, the party is limited to a single Mega Evolution. Dragging a second Mega Evolution to the party results in all slots except the existing Mega Evolution slot turning red, allowing a player to swap that Pokémon only. Naturally, when a Mega Evolution is in the party, the regular form is forbidden to be in the party, and the same is true for trying to add a Mega to a party with the regular form already present; the only slot available for dragging either form in that situation is the same slot as the other form. It's interesting to note that there is no mechanic for Mega Evolution during the puzzle, and that a Pokémon that Mega Evolves (or before its Mega Evolution) can be used while its other form is resting.

====Mythical Pokémon====
[[Mythical Pokémon]] have a special mechanic at play in Pokémon Picross. With the exception of {{p|Phione}} (who does not appear at all), {{me|Diancie}} (who is available after catching Diancie itself), and {{p|Mew}} (who is locked by a password as noted above), all Mythical Pokémon will appear after a countdown timer has expired. Players do not get to see this countdown timer, and this timer continues to count while the game is not running.

When the timer expires, the player will be greeted by Professor Tetra informing of "big news". At this point, a Mythical Pokémon becomes available in one of the various areas of the game. These Pokémon stages have a red exclamation mark icon over them and a timer counting underneath; this timer represents the amount of time before the Pokémon is gone. These Pokémon must have their stages accessed within a set time period or they will disappear. If the Pokémon does vanish, the player will see another notification from Tetra and the countdown will begin again for the next random appearance; if the player is on that map, the map will then reload with the stage removed. If a Pokémon is allowed to vanish, it does not necessarily reappear immediately and another may appear first. In the event a player is not in the game, the notification may not be given immediately, but after a brief time the appearance will be triggered. If the 3DS is closed when the appearance countdown timer expires, the Pokémon will not appear nor will its availability countdown begin until the player has the game active again, with the notification appearing immediately upon opening the 3DS with the game running. The player will therefore always have the full time available to access the stage, though returning the game to an inactive state will not stop the timer at this point.

Once a Mythical Pokémon's stage is accessed, players can finish the puzzle regardless of the appearance timer and catch as normal; this means a player can pause and close the 3DS right after entering the stage (such as if low on energy) and come back with a full energy meter three hours later to finish the stage, if need be. If the player quits and the appearance timer still has time on it, the player can try again (this may be done to equip Pokémon with certain skills). If the player quits the puzzle after the appearance timer expires, the player will lose the chance to catch that Pokémon and have to try again a day or two later, based on the appearance rate. Once a Mythical Pokémon's stage is completed, it stays permanently and can be visited at any time to complete challenges.

Most Mythical Pokémon are available in their areas for an hour, though {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}} Unbound, and {{p|Arceus}}, all from the last five areas of the game, stay for shorter varying lengths of time if their stages are not accessed. All Mythical Pokémon stages are the largest size available in the game, 20x15.

As soon as {{p|Arceus}} is caught, the timers for all remaining Mythical Pokémon are cut in half.

The Mythical Pokémon, their areas, the length of their appearance timers, and the amount of time each Pokémon is available for are as follows:

====Alt-World====
After completing Stage 05-03, [[Professor Tetra]] will appear to tell the player about Mega Picross puzzles. These puzzles involve clue numbers that cover two rows or columns and apply to squares in both rows and columns. The player is then invited back to the lab and given three new puzzles to complete in turn; these puzzles, like regular puzzles, do not give any Picrites as a reward and have no missions tied to them, but do use a player's energy unlike other tutorials. Upon completing the three puzzles, players can unlock access to Alt-World for 300 Picrites. After unlocking Alt-World, a player can freely travel between the two worlds and solve puzzles in areas that are already unlocked in the main world, and even complete another set of missions for each stage in Alt-World, but there are no Picrites to be gained in the Alt-World.

Stage availability works differently in Alt-World than in the main world. Each area unlocked in the main world starts with at least one stage unlocked; in the Alt-World, most areas have two or more stages available to start. This works by having the first stage from any linked area currently available in the main world available; for instance, in a fully unlocked game, in Area 12, A12-01, A12-03, and A12-04 are all available immediately. The Pokémon themselves appear in a different order than in the main world, though the stage access paths are the same, with any unlocked Mythical Pokémon and password stages available as regular stages in Alt-World. This means, if Alt-World is immediately accessed after clearing S05-03, that the player immediately begins with 11 puzzles available.

===Daily Training===
Once a day, Tetra will allow the player to complete a challenge featuring random puzzles. These puzzles don't form any kind of picture, and only serve as speed challenges for players. A usual "workout" involves completing a group of 7x7 puzzles in a set amount of time. If a player can complete the challenge, the reward is a small number of Picrites (between 4-13 depending on progress). Pokémon cannot be used here; Tetra states puzzles must be solved on the player's own merits.

As players advance through the areas of the game, the base training prize increases. After starting at 4 Picrites, reaching Area 05 allows Tetra to finish "research", and the base reward increases to 5 Picrites. As the level reward increases, players get an additional number of bonus Picrites. An example is completing Daily Training while in Area 05 and with a Lv.2 bonus, which rewards 6 Picrites. There are 10 levels to this bonus; being at Lv.10 gives the biggest bonus on top of the challenge clear reward; combined with stage clear rewards, this makes it possible to earn enough Picrites to unlock the next area in a matter of days. The boost in the daily training reward occurs with every four areas unlocked, meaning a player with 25 areas unlocked has reached the highest possible daily training reward (10 Picrites), while a Lv.10 bonus (3 Picrites) and a prize for meeting the target time (2 Picrites) yields a possible daily 15 Picrites for Daily Training.

Daily Training is accessed by tapping the arrow at the bottom of the screen and selecting the sixth icon, which looks like Tetra.

===Mural Mode===
There are 128 Mural Tiles scattered throughout the game. These puzzles can be completed whenever a player chooses without using up any energy. As with Daily Training, Pokémon cannot be brought to these puzzles to aid in solving. Visiting every area in the game is required to complete the murals; however, no Mega Pokémon puzzles offer these tiles as rewards. Upon completing all the mural tiles in one mural the entire mural can be resetted and played again.

Mural Mode can be accessed by tapping the arrow at the bottom of the screen and choosing the third icon.

==Medals==
There are 100 medals available in the game. Medals are rewarded to players for accomplishing specific tasks and all have a reward of 3 Picrites, allowing a player to earn 300 Picrites by collecting all medals.

Three medals are coded into the game but remain unused. These medals are:
*Legendary Dream Team (Clear a puzzle with five Legendary Pokémon)
*The Reliables (Catch all fully evolved first partner Pokémon from each region)
*Mythical Dream Team (Obtain a mural tile)

The available medals are as follows:

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Shuffle}}
'''Pokémon Shuffle''' (Japanese: '''ポケとる''' ''PokéToru'') is a {{wp|freemium}} puzzle game released for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. It was released on the Japanese, Australian, European, and North American Nintendo 3DS eShop on February 18, 2015. It updates itself during communication with a server (called "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 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 the player already has five Hearts. More Hearts can be purchased with Jewels, which can be bought with real money or occasionally received as prizes, to allow players to immediately resume their game. One Heart is also given for free when the player plays Stage 11 for the first time, even if the player has Hearts remaining.

A version for iOS and Android called '''[[#Pokémon Shuffle Mobile|Pokémon Shuffle Mobile]]''' (Japanese: '''ポケとるスマホ版''' ''PokéToru Smartphone Version'') was released in Japan on August 24, 2015, in North America and Europe on August 31, 2015, and in South Korea on January 20, 2016. It was originally scheduled to be released in South Korea on January 14, 2016.

==Blurb==
''Get ready for the latest Pokémon puzzle game! Match three or more Pokémon to clear them from the screen and damage the opponent Pokémon. But watch out—your moves are limited, so use them wisely! With no time limit, you can create the best matches to deal out maximum damage. With many popular Pokémon, including some Mega-Evolved Pokémon, this is the perfect puzzle game for fans and for new players who want to get in on the Pokémon fun.''

==Pokémon Shuffle Mobile==
Pokémon Shuffle Mobile is a version of Pokémon Shuffle for iOS and Android. It is currently on version 1.0.5 (iOS)/1.1.0 (Android). The app can only be played with an internet connection, and cannot be played otherwise. Regular server maintenance is scheduled on Tuesdays from 5:00-6:00 AM (UTC), meaning the game is unplayable during these times. According the the official support website, Shuffle Mobile has been tested and verified to work on the Xperia Z3 (SO-01G), the Nexus 7 (2013), and the iPhone and may not display correctly on other phones and tablets. It requires Android 4.1 or later or iOS 7.0 or later and does not support rooted devices. Shuffle Mobile requires on-device storage of approximately XX MB, and periodically updates which will require additional on-device storage.

Players may not purchase more than ¥10,000 (or equivalent) per month. In countries outside Asia, players who are younger than 13 years old cannot make in-app purchases. Additionally, Facebook integration is disabled for players under 13. Game data may be transferred between devices, but not to/from the 3DS version or shared between devices. Once a transfer code is issued under "Model Upgrade" in "Options", in can be entered along with the client number when the game is first launched on the new device. Jewels cannot be transferred to a different OS. Transfer codes expire after expire 30 days after it is issued, and cannot be issued for 30 days from the last transfer.

Unlike the 3DS version, Pokémon Shuffle Mobile does not make use of [[StreetPass]], instead using {{wp|Facebook}} integration. Facebook integration is used to allow players to send and receive mini Hearts to and from their friends. When mini Hearts are collected, it fills up the Friend Gauge. When the Friend Gauge fills completely, a Heart is obtained. [[Special Stages]] are held on a different schedule to the 3DS version. The Check In function is replaced by the game logging in automatically when played, under "Data Updates". Gifts can be received under the "Gifts" tab. Notifications can be turned on and off for when the player has 5 Hearts, when the player can log in again, or when a notice is posted. Competitive Stage rankings for Shuffle Mobile are counted separately from those of the 3DS version. Passcodes are incompatible between Shuffle and Shuffle Mobile. Prices for items and Jewels differ between the 3DS and mobile versions, as noted below. Some stages require two Hearts to be played, unlike the 3DS version.

==Gameplay==
Pokémon Shuffle is a puzzle game in which the player matches Pokémon icons to defeat wild Pokémon, in a similar style to [[Pokémon Battle Trozei]]. The player can capture Pokémon and use them as Support Pokémon. Each Pokémon has a [[Skill]] that can be activated when it is matched in a battle, with the criteria being that the move was not part of a combo and a special criteria based on the Skill in question (sometimes at random). Pokémon have a set capture rate that is added to depending on how many moves a player has left at the end of a battle. As of Version 1.2.0, this figure can occasionally be doubled before the capture attempt. During normal game-play, Pokémon can be moved anywhere in the Puzzle Area, but cannot be moved if they do not cause a match (the pair will revert their positions once dropped). No-match moves are allowed in timed stages, however.

[[Mega Stone]]s are given out throughout the game, awarded when the player defeats the corresponding Mega Pokémon used by a Trainer. The player can use them by putting the Pokémon that uses them at the front of their Support, and the [[Mega Evolution]] is activated by matching the Pokémon that Mega Evolves until the Mega Gauge to the left of the play area is full, at which point it Mega Evolves. While Mega Evolved, its Skill is replaced by a [[Mega Evolution#Mega Effects|Mega Effect]] that activates whenever it is matched. The clock of a timed stage will stop while the Mega Evolution occurs.

If at any time during a stage there are no moves the player can make that would result in a triplet, the game will say "Let's shake things up!" and replace all Pokémon on the Puzzle Area (removing all disruptions and adding any disruptions present at the start of the match), from when the player can continue to play. The clock of a timed stage stops while play is prevented. If the player is out of moves or time when this happens, even if the reset board contains matches none of them will deal damage unless the player chooses to continue by paying a Jewel.

===Tutorial===
{{incomplete|section|In v1.2.0 onward, is the free Heart from Amelia before Stage 11 a bonus Heart or regenerating Heart?}}
The tutorial portion of the game lasts until the player completes Stage 11. Throughout the tutorial, the player is guided by [[Amelia]].

The player starts the game with 5 regenerating Hearts, 0 bonus hearts, 0 Coins, 0 Jewels, and no Support Pokémon. Upon starting the game, Amelia introduces the game and forces the player to play Stage 1: Espurr (without offering the player the opportunity to buy items), on which the game forces the player's moves, guaranteeing that Espurr has 100% catchability. The game then forces the player to add Espurr to their party, then play Stage 2: Bulbasaur. Because the player now has Coins (from completing Stage 1), Amelia introduces the concept of buying items; the player does not currently have enough Coins to buy any, but she gives them a free Moves +5 to demonstrate the item.

After successfully completing Stage 2, the game opens the menu for Stage 3. The Optimize button (which did not appear before) is now added and Amelia explains it to the player. Amelia explains type effectiveness to the player.

After starting Stage 4, Amelia explains the concept of Skills to the player.

After completing Stage 5, when the player tries the catch Eevee, the game forces the Poké Ball to fail, but Amelia then gives the player a {{ball|Great}} for free. After that, the player is given a free Jewel, followed by Amelia explaining the concept of Jewels. The game then offers the player the Jewel purchase menu, encouraging them to purchase 5 Hearts (6 Hearts in Shuffle Mobile).

At the start of Stage 6, Amelia explains the concept of disruptions due to Pidgey turning a Support Pokémon into a breakable-rock.

When the player opens the menu for Stage 8, Amelia explains the concept of a 3-Pokémon stage due to it being one.

After completing Stage 9, when Stage 10: Mega Audino appears, Amelia hints that the stage is different to other stages. After completing the stage, Amelia explains how [[Mega Evolution]] works, and the first slot in the player's party changes to a large circle with a Mega Stone slot in order to facilitate Mega Evolution. After completing Stage 10, the game automatically opens the menu for Stage 11. Amelia then gives the player a free Heart (5 regenerating Hearts in Shuffle Mobile at the end of the stage).

After completing Stage 11, the check in button appears, which Amelia explains. She then departs, assuring the player they will meet again.

===Disruptions===
Disruptions are things added to the stage by the opposing Pokémon to make clearing the stage harder. They are added when a counter that decreases when a move is made next to the opposing Pokémon reaches zero. The counter does not change if the foe is paralyzed, asleep or frozen. Some Pokémon create disruptions after a certain amount of time or number of matches, but will not count any combos or matches performed while it is paralyzed, asleep or frozen. All disruptions can be erased by a Mega Effect. All disruptions can be cleared by Stabilize, Stabilize+ and Disrupt Buster. Swap can replace disruptions with a Support Pokémon.

! style="background:#{{beauty color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Disruption
! style="background:#{{beauty color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Effect
|- style="background:#fff"
|Barrier-type
|Prevents the Pokémon icon or disruption under it from moving in any way, including falling. Can be cleared by making a match using the Pokémon icon under it, Barrier Bash and the icon it affects being erased by Mega Effects, Quirky or Quirky+. If cleared by matching the icon underneath or a skill other than Quirky or Quirky+, the Pokémon icon under it is not destroyed. Can affect most other disruptions, and can be under a black-cloud disruption.
|- style="background:#fff"
|Non-Support Pokémon icon
|A Pokémon icon of a Pokémon that was not selected as a support Pokémon for the stage. Can be moved freely, perform matches with itself and activate its skill. Can be cleared in any way a normal Pokémon icon can (including by another one of them activating Quirky or Quirky+), plus by Eject, although they may not be affected by Stabilise, Stabilise+ or Disrupt Buster. They come in three sub-types: as an additional support Pokémon (but without immunity to Eject), in the level at the start but not added by falling in, and added by the opposing Pokémon. Of these, only the first will change species if it is the same as the player's support Pokémon.
|- style="background:#fff"
|Coin
|An icon that gives the player bonus Coins if matched. Can be moved freely and performs matches with itself. Can be cleared in any way a normal Pokémon icon can, and they are affected by Stabilise, Stabilise+, Swap, or Disrupt Buster. +100 Coins for a match of three, +300 Coins for a match of four, +500 for a match of five, and +700 for a match of six, regardless of any combos.
|- style="background:#fff"
|Unbreakable-block
|A metal block that falls, but cannot be moved by the stylus. Can be cleared by making 5 moves after it appears on the field or by Block Smash.
|- style="background:#fff"
|Breakable-rock
|A square rock that falls, but cannot be moved by the stylus. Can be cleared by making a match in any square next to it (not diagonally) and Rock Break. Unaffected by the removal of an ajoining a barrier-type disruption, but destroyed if an ajoining unbreakable-block disruption breaks from the player performing five moves since its introduction.
|-
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | Black-cloud
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Prevents the player from seeing what is in the square it occupies. The Pokémon icon in this square can still be part of a match and can be moved. Can only be cleared by Cloud Clear and having whatever is under it erased (Mega Effects, Quirky or Quirky+ clearing it). Immune to Mega Effects if there is no Pokémon icon under it when the effect activates and targets the square it is in. All other disruptions can be present under it.

===Ranks===
Whenever the player completes a stage, they will be awarded a rank, which is displayed next to their total score on a popup after completing the stage. The highest rank the player has ever earned for a particular stage is visible in the overworld, next to the stage. The rank the player earns is determined by the number of moves or amount of time the player has remaining, and the total number of moves or amount of time the player started the stage with. On some special stages, including but not limited to "Meowth's Coin Mania", competitive stages, and the Pokémon Safari, previous rankings do not appear for specific reasons.

For most move-limited stages, if the number of moves remaining upon competition of the stage is greater than or equal to half the total number of moves they started with (rounded down), the player will be awarded an S-rank. While the purchase of a +5 Moves does not affect catch percentages, it ''does'' affect rank.

For most timed stages, if the amount of time remaining upon competition of the stage is greater than or equal to half the total amount of time they started with (rounded down), the player will be awarded an S-rank.

All Competitive Stages and Stage 149: {{p|Haxorus}} will always grant an S-rank upon competition, regardless of performance. Meowth's Coin Mania also shares this trait.

Expert stages are unlocked depending on total number of S-ranks the player has on main stages. Ranks on expert and special stages have no impact on gameplay.

The ranks below S are A, B, and C, respectively. Remaining move numbers for each rank are typically arbitrary, as on many stages with low starting moves it can be impossible to get a B or C rank. Ranks below S serve no functional value, regardless, and do not contribute to the unlocking of extra stages.

==Check in==
The player 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 500 Coins, but will grant 1000 Coins every 10 times the player checks in.

Checking in checks for any patches the player may not have installed. If there are any minor patches, the game asks the player if they wish to download extra data, and if they do, it automatically downloads and installs it; this is the only way to install minor patches for the game. If there are any major patches, it provides a link to a page on the Nintendo eShop to download it and requests that the player download it. If there is a patch and the player does not install it, the player cannot check in. If a patch is released partway through the day and the check-in function has already been used, the patch can be downloaded on that day by attempting to check-in, but will not succeed with the check-in.

Checking in also syncronizes the system's copy of UTC time with the server, regulating when special stages appear. If the system time is changed, the player must check in again to regain access to any active special stages they have, thereby syncing with the server once again. Special stages that do not begin on the day a new version is realeased can be accessed even if the player has not checked in on 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 the monday, reguardless of if they had checked in on or after the release time).

===Version 1.2.x===
[[File:Shuffle 1-2-1 Heart Display.png|thumb|right|The top screen as shown in Version 1.2.1]]
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 the player had before the update are now treated as bonus Hearts, and the player's regenerating Hearts start off at 5 after installing the update.
*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 the player fails to catch a Pokémon with their first Poké Ball (before using a 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 (the player 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 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 the player leaves a stage select screen and later returns to it, it will reappear exactly as the player 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 contest 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 a player submits a score of 50,000 and is removed, the player 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.
*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.

===Version 1.2.x===
Version 1.2.0 became available on November 3, 2015. This update makes several graphical and functional changes to the user interface.

*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 the player has 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.
*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 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.

===Version 1.3.x===
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 the player catch and use it. These icons are visible while browsing stages, as well as when the player looks at Pokémon in the Pokémon List.
*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 the player is returned to that position upon reopening the game. For example, if the player were to close the game while at the Meowth stage, then they would start there upon reopening the game. Prior to this update, the player would always start at the furthest main stage that they had unlocked.
*The rank symbol appearing after clearing a level flashes continuously.

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.

==Passcodes==
The game includes a passcode function, where the player can enter an 8-digit code that will grant 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.

==Currencies==
===Jewels===
The game's microtransactions are focused around Jewels. Jewels can be obtained in-game by completing Trainer stages (first time only), as prizes in contest stages (often to runner-ups), for obtaining StreetPasses, 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.

In Pokémon Shuffle, Jewels are obtained via purchase on the Nintendo eShop. 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 Pokémon Shuffle Mobile, all 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, a player can spend 1 Jewel to gain 5 turns or 15 seconds. This bonus is not counted towards the time/turn bonus when catching 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:

From December 22, 2015 to January 12, 2016, a bulk rate on 118 Jewels was offered for ¥9,800 or US $79.99, requiring 980 purchase points.

===Hearts===
The player begins the game with five Hearts. Each time a stage is played, a Heart is consumed; Hearts are replenished over time at the rate of one Heart every thirty minutes, or can be obtained in exchange for Jewels or via certain conditions via StreetPass (see below).

===Coins===
Each time a stage is successfully completed, a player is rewarded with a fixed number of Coins. For main stages in Shuffle, this is generally 100 Coins, with repeat clears obtaining an additional 30 Coins. For main stages in Shuffle Mobile, this is generally 100 Coins, with repeat clears obtaining an additional 20 Coins. Special stages will sometimes reward additional Coins, including as a stage clear bonus, with repeat clears sometimes only rewarding 10 Coins. Coins can be spent on items in-game.

==StreetPass==
If [[StreetPass]] is enabled for Pokémon Shuffle, whenever the player StreetPasses another player with StreetPass enabled for Pokémon Shuffle they will share data with each other. The player will be 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, and their number of previous StreetPass tags, as well as the time they were last StreetPassed.

Additionally, the player will receive rewards based on the number of StreetPass tags they have had.

|-
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" |Every 100 StreetPass tags before 10,000 tags total
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" |1 Jewel
|}

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.

|}

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.

===Great Balls===
If the player fails to catch a Pokémon with the provided Poké Ball, they can use a {{ball|Great}} to increase the catchability of the Pokémon at a cost of 2500 Coins on the 3DS version or 3500 Coins in Shuffle Mobile.

===Enhancements===
Enhancements may be used on a Pokémon when selecting Pokémon for a stage. They are consumed when used. Currently the only enhancements available are Mega Speedups, and cannot be gained via Coins or Jewels. They permanently improve a Pokémon's rate of Mega Evolution.

==Stages==
The main game, as of November 16, 2015, consists of 280 stages, each of which gives the player a Pokémon to catch.

The main game path consists of 250 stages that must be played in succession, without deviation, at the cost of one Heart apiece. If a playing is interrupted by the power being turned off, the game being quit to the home menu, or the stage being abandoned, the Heart cannot be recovered except by normal means of regeneration and another must be spent to play the stage again. Each area finishes with a battle against a trainer using a Mega Evolved Pokémon (referred to here as the area boss). Victory against that Pokémon earns the player that Mega Stone, a Jewel and access to the next area.

Expert stages are located in a separate area and may be played at any time upon being unlocked. They may be played in any order upon being unlocked.

New stages are currently being added in routine updates to the game.
