A High-Speed Challenge (Japanese: ハイスピードチャレンジHigh-Speed Challenge) is a type of special stage in Pokémon Shuffle that has a time-limited format, and features powerful Pokémon. It may be considered a complement to Great Challenges. These stages cost Coins or Hearts to play.
For the game's end-of-service period, High-Speed Challenge stages began running on a consistent 24-week schedule, with each lasting one week. 12 of the 24 weeks have at least one High-Speed Challenge available, with week 24 having the most available in a single week, at three. The amount of Great Challenges and High-Speed Challenges available in a single week always has a shared total of 5, with three of those costing Heart ×1 to play, one costing Hearts ×2, and one costing Coins ×300.
During the game's live service period, there were 16 different High-Speed Challenges, with play costs varying between stages, and even between reruns of the same stage. The end-of-service events keep most of these stages, but omit the Pikachu in a Cap stages, as those have been moved to Pokémon Safari instead. Carnivine and Passimian, which were previously Try 'Em Items Stages, have been adapted into High-Speed Challenges due to their old stage format being retired. Shiny Charizard is also added, which was not previously available in any format.
