Pokémon Shuffle (Japanese: ポケとる PokéToru) is a 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 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 gained if the player already has five Hearts), although they can be purchased with Jewels that can be bought with real money to allow players to immediately resume their game, and one is given for free when the player plays Stage 11 for the first time (even if the player has Hearts remaining).

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. During normal game-play, Pokémon can be moved anywhere on the board, but cannot be moved if it does not cause a match at either end during a stage with a fixed number of moves (no-match moves are allowed in timed stages).

Mega Stones 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 Effect that activates whenever it is matched. The clock of a timed stage will stop while the Mega Evolution occurs.

The player is guided by Amelia during the tutorial portion of the game, which lasts until the player completes Stage 11 for the first time.

If at any time during a stage there are no moves the player can make that would result in a triplet, but there are turns or time remaining, the game will say "Let's shake things up!" and replace all Pokémon on the Puzzle Board (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.

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 use disruptions when a long enough occurs or enough matches are made, but will not count any combos or matches performed while it is paralyzed, asleep or frozen.

Disruption Effect
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, Stabilise, Stabilise+ and Mega Effects. If cleared by anything other than a Mega Effect, the Pokémon icon under it is not destroyed. Can affect other disruptions.
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, plus by Eject.
Unbreakable-block A metal block that falls, but cannot be moved by the stylus. Can be cleared by making a certain number of matches after it appears on the field, Block Bash, Stabilise, Stabilise+ and Mega Effects.
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, Rock Break, Stabilise, Stabilise+ and Mega Effects. Multiple matches required if it is under a barrier-type disruption.
Black-cloud 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, Stabilise, Stabilise+ and Mega Effects (including the match that activates the effect being under it). Immune to Mega Effects if there is no Pokémon icon under it when the effect activates.

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.

Checking in also adds any special stages the player does not already have (daily stages, such as "The Daily Pokémon (#1)", only need to be downloaded once, and will be cycled through with the system's clock).

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; however, unlike that function, Pokémon Shuffle does not connect to the internet to verify a common code, instead being patched to make codes valid.

Common codes

Passcode Reward Period
20150007 2 Mega Starts March 8 to April 30, 2015

Unique codes

Source Reward Period
April 2nd and 9th issue of Famitsu magazine 1 Jewel March 19 to May 1, 2015

Jewels

The game's microtransactions are focused around Jewels. Jewels can be obtained in-game by completing Trainer stages (first time only), via other special means, and 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). Additionally, 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.

Each time the player plays a stage, a Heart is consumed; Hearts are replenished over time, or can be obtained in exchange for Jewels. Additionally, each time the player clears a stage they will be rewarded with a number of Coins based on their performance; Coins can be spent on items in-game.

If the player runs out of turns or time during a stage, they 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.

Exchange

Jewels can be exchanged for either Hearts or Coins (but only one at a time) at the following rates:

Jewels Hearts Coins
1 5 3,000
3 18 (+20%) 10,000 (+11%)
6 38 (+27%) 22,000 (+22%)
12 80 (+33%) 48,000 (+33%)

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.

Tags Reward
1 1 Jewel
5 1 Heart
10 1 Heart
20 1 Heart
30 1 Heart
40 1 Heart
50 1 Heart
60 1 Heart

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.

Tags Reward
3-4 1 Heart
5 2 Hearts

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.

Days between tags Reward

Special stages

Special stages are downloaded during the check in process, and can only be played during the event period. All special stages use "SP" as their stage number.

Most special stages so far are move-limited stages that can be played any number of times (costing a Heart each time) in which the player can catch Pokémon not otherwise obtainable. However, two special stages both behave differently to this.

The special stage "Meowth's Coin Mania" could only be played once per day when available, and the Meowth could not be caught. While a ranking for the stage was displayed upon completion, it was not displayed again afterwards (unlike other stages, which keep the ranking next to the stage icon).

One competitive stage has so far been featured in the game. In "Competitive Stage", the player battles a Trainer using a Mega Lucario in a timed stage. The player must connect to the Internet to play in this stage. Upon completion of the stage, the player's score is uploaded to a leaderboard. From the Ranking menu, players can view the information of the five players currently on top of the leaderboard (Pokémon, name, country, and score) as well as their own high score, placement, and current Pokémon.

For timed stages, times are expressed in minutes and seconds.
