Pokémon Shuffle (Japanese: ポケとる PokéToru) is a freemium puzzle game first released for the Nintendo 3DS through the Japanese, Australian, European, and North American Nintendo 3DS eShop on February 18, 2015. Major version updates are also downloaded from the eShop, but minor updates may occur within the game itself while it communicates with the server during "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 regenerated if players already have five Hearts. Optionally, more Hearts or Coins (which are used to play certain stages or can be used to purchase power-ups in stages) may be purchased with Jewels, which are bought with real money or occasionally given as free prizes, to allow players to immediately resume their game. One Heart is also given for free when Stage 11 is played for the first time, even if the player has Hearts remaining.

A version for iOS and Android called Pokémon Shuffle Mobile (Japanese: ポケとる スマホ版 PokéToru Smartphone Version) was released in Japan on August 25, 2015, in North America, the United Kingdom, and Australia on September 1, 2015, and in continental Europe and South Korea on January 20, 2016. It was originally scheduled to be released in South Korea on January 14, 2016.

Pokémon Shuffle Mobile

Pokémon Shuffle Mobile is a separate implementation of the Pokémon Shuffle game for iOS and Android. It was released after Pokémon Shuffle for the 3DS and took many version releases before it reached feature parity. There are several minor game elements that differ between Mobile and 3DS versions in addition to having a slightly different user interface. The Mobile version is currently on Version 1.7.x. The version history tracked in this article follows the Android system. iOS is often a few versions behind Android due to the more time consuming nature of the iOS app store review process.

Pokémon Shuffle Mobile can only be played with an Internet connection. Unlike on the 3DS, it will not fully load otherwise. Regular server maintenance is scheduled on Tuesdays from 5:00-6:00 AM (UTC), meaning the game is unplayable during these hours. According to the official support website, Pokémon 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. However, this only means that the The Pokémon Company has not specifically verified its functionality on other devices; many users have successfully used Shuffle Mobile on a wide variety of other devices. The Mobile version requires iOS 7.0 or later or Android 4.1 or later and requires on-device storage of approximately 26 MB, although periodically updates will require additional on-device storage. Rooted devices are not supported.

Game data may be transferred between Mobile devices, but not to/from a 3DS or shared between multiple Mobile devices at the same time. Once a transfer code is issued under "Issue a transfer code" in "Options", in can be entered along with the client number when the game is first launched on the new device. Jewels will not be transferred between different OSes. Transfer codes expire after 30 days from being issued and cannot be issued again for 30 days after the last transfer.

Differences from the 3DS version

• An Internet connection is required.
• The Check in function occurs automatically when the application launches. Players must exit and restart the game in order to Check in again.
• Notifications, which can be turned on and off under "Options" and then "Settings", are sent to the phone or tablet notifying players when their Hearts have regenerated.
• StreetPass is not available. Facebook integration, or player "Friend Codes" for non-Facebook users (since version 1.6.0), is utilized instead. Players 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. Players can send mini Hearts to multiple friends, but they cannot send a mini Heart to the same friend more than once per day. This feature is disabled for players under 13.
• The first successful completion of a battle against Trainers with Mega Evolved Pokémon at the end of each Main Stage area earns 5 Hearts instead of a Jewel.
• Special stages are not always held on the same schedule.
• Competitive Stage rankings are counted separately. Additionally, rankings and prize tiers are not separated by region.
• Gifts are received under the "Gifts" tab.
• In countries outside Asia, players who are younger than 13 years old cannot make in-app purchases.
• Players may not purchase more than ¥10,000 (or equivalent) per month.
• Prices for Items and Jewels differ, as noted in their respective sections of this article.
• Passcodes are incompatible.

Gameplay

Pokémon Shuffle is a puzzle game in which players match three or more of the same Pokémon icons in a six tile by six tile Puzzle Area to defeat wild Pokémon, in a similar style to Pokémon Battle Trozei. Players try to capture Pokémon by defeating them by causing damage equal to or greater than the opposing wild Pokémon's Hit Points (HP) within a certain number of moves or within a certain amount of time. Players may then use their newly captured Pokémon as Support Pokémon to help them capture more wild Pokémon. Damage done to an opposing wild Pokémon depends on the Attack power of the Pokémon whose icons are matched, the number of icons matched, the Skill the matching Pokémon possesses, and a number of additional factors. Each Pokémon has a Skill that is activated when the Pokémon is matched in a battle, as long as the specific skill criteria is met (sometimes at random) and the match is not the second or later match in the combo (matches that immediately follow one after the other without all icons coming to rest). During move-limited stages, the icons representing a 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). Once a match has been made, no icons can be moved by the player until the combo, or the wild Pokémon's subsequent disruption, has ended. In time-limited stages, no-match moves are allowed and icons may be moved as long as time remains on the clock. Breakable-rock, unbreakable-block, and any icon trapped under a barrier disruption cannot be moved directly in either stage type.

Tutorial

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: In v1.2.0 onward, is the free Heart from Amelia before Stage 11 a bonus Heart or regenerating Heart?

All players must complete the tutorial portion of the game, which lasts until Stage 11 is completed, before they will have full access to all game features. Throughout the tutorial, players are guided by Amelia. Players start the game with 5 regenerating Hearts, 0 bonus Hearts, 0 Coins, 0 Jewels, and no Support Pokémon.

• Upon starting the game, Amelia briefly introduces the game and then directs (forces) players to Stage 1 (Espurr). Players are not offered the opportunity to buy Items. During the battle, Amelia directs the moves, guaranteeing that Espurr is not only defeated but has a catch rate of 100%. Espurr becomes the first "Support Pokémon" available to help players battle other Pokémon.
• Amelia next directs players to Stage 2 (Bulbasaur). Because players now have "Coins" after completing Stage 1, Amelia introduces the concept of buying "Items". While players currently do not have enough Coins to buy any Items, Amelia gives them a free "Moves +5" to demonstrate how purchasing Items works.
• After successfully completing Stage 2, the game opens the menu directly into Stage 3 (Squirtle). An "Optimize" button (which did not appear before) is now present. Amelia explains how players can click on this button to have the game automatically select the most effective Support Pokèmon they have captured for the given stage's Pokémon opponent. She also explains Type Effectiveness. Each Pokémon has a "Type", and each Type is more or less effective against other Types. Players may still choose their Support Pokémon manually.
• After starting Stage 4 (Charmander), Amelia explains the concept of "Skills". Skills are special powers that are activated when Pokémon are matched. Each Pokémon has a Skill. Only one Skill can be activated per combo, and only on the first match made. Some Skills have special conditions that must be met before they activate.
• After completing Stage 5, when players try to catch the Eevee, the Poké Ball will always fail. However, Amelia then offers the player a Great Ball, which doubles the catch rate of the target Pokémon, for free, allowing Eevee to be caught. Afterward, players are given a free Jewel, followed by Amelia explaining the function of Jewels. The game then directs players the Jewel purchase menu, encouraging them to purchase 5 Hearts (6 Hearts in Shuffle Mobile). However, using the Jewel is not required to continue.
• At the start of Stage 6, Pidgey turns one Support Pokémon icon into a breakable-rock disruption. Amelia then explains disruptions to the player. Disruptions are an opponent's means of hindering progress. Some may be placed by the opposing Pokémon, while others will already be present in the Puzzle Area at the beginning of the stage.
• When players open the menu for Stage 8 (Pichu), a "3-Pokémon Stage", Amelia will describe what a 3-Pokémon Stage is. In these stages, only three Support Pokémon may be used instead of the typical four.
• In Stage 10, the player faces a Trainer with a Mega Audino. Amelia hints that the stage will be different from all the other stages but lets players discover for themselves just how "Mega Evolution" works in Pokémon Shuffle.
• Upon starting Stage 11 (Happiny), Amelia explains that the very first (leftmost) slot available when players assemble their Support Pokémon changed to include a large circle, which is a Mega Stone slot, which accomodates Pokémon that can Mega Evolve. When Pokémon Mega Evolve, its Skill is replaced by a powerful Mega Evolution ability.
• Before starting Stage 12 (Mareep), Amelia gives players a free Heart (5 regenerating Hearts in Shuffle Mobile). She also explains the purpose of the Check In button that has now appeared (3DS Shuffle only). Checking in connects the game online, downloads any minor updates, and provides players with daily Coin rewards. She then departs, assuring players they will meet again.

Catching Pokémon

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Chance a Pokémon will run, Super Catch Power numbers confirmation

Whenever an uncaught Pokémon is defeated, the player gets a chance to catch that Pokémon. The chance to catch a Pokémon varies and is split into two primary components — a base catch rate that does not change and a bonus, which increases the catch rate slightly for each extra move (or time, in increments of three seconds) left unused at the end of the stage. If the player purchased a "Moves+5" or "Time+10" item before beginning the stage, the additional Moves or Time will not be factored into the bonus. However, the bonus will factor in Moves or Time gained if the player ran out of moves or time on the stage and used a Jewel to gain more. If the initial Poké Ball fails, a Great Ball, which doubles the current catch rate, may be purchased for 2500 (3DS) or 3500 (Mobile) Coins. If the Great Ball fails, additional Great Balls may be purchased, though the catch rate is not increased further. Additionally, after the first Great Ball, there is a chance that the Pokémon may run away automatically. If a Pokémon has been caught, a small Poké Ball icon will appear next to its icon on the stage selection screen.

In Version 1.2.0 (3DS) onwards, or from the start (Mobile), if the initial Poké Ball fails, the Pokémon may become nervous, triggering "Super Catch Power". After the listed catch rate is doubled by the Great Ball, Super Catch Power will randomly add between 20% and 50%^{[citation needed]} to the capture rate. This does not increase the cost of the Great Ball.

Attack power - Level - XP

Main article: List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number

A Pokémon's Attack Power is the primary variable that determines how much damage a match of its icons will do to opposing Pokémon, represented by a number between 30 and 120. A Pokémon's Attack Power increases as its Level increases. All Pokémon initially have a maximum Level of 10, though some Pokémon may have their maximum Level increased to 13 or 15 using Raise Max Level Enhancements (one per Level). A Pokémon's Level is increased by earning Experience Points or XP, which can be obtained by battling almost any Pokémon or through Exp. Booster or Level Up Enhancements.

Each stage gives out a different amount of XP, but generally, Main Stages give an amount of XP equal to their number of moves, Expert Stages give 10 XP, and most Special Stages give 5 XP. Full XP is earned when players defeat their opponent, while a proportion of this is awarded if the player runs out of moves or time, based on the proportion of the opponent's HP that is remaining (this can award full XP even when the player loses if the opposing Pokémon has very little HP remaining). Generally, all Support Pokémon brought to the stage earn an equal amount of XP, but if the stage is cleared, one Pokémon will receive a crown, which doubles the XP gained from that stage. The crown is given to the Support Pokémon whose icons were cleared the most. Icons cleared by Skills or Mega Evolution|Mega Effects do not count, but icons at the intersection of a T, L, or +-match are counted twice. For details on individual Pokémon Attack powers, see List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number.

Damage

Damage for each match is equal to the Attack power as shown in the Pokémon List for the given level of the Pokémon and then modified (multiplied) by the following factors.

Combo: (multiple matches occurring without all icons fully settling) 1: x1 2-4: x1.1 5-9: x1.15 10-24: x1.2 25-49: x1.3 50-74: x1.4 75-99: x1.5 100-199: x2 200+: x2.5 Effectiveness: (the combination of different Types of Pokémon in a battle) Not very effective: x0.5 Normal effectiveness: x1 Super effective: x2

Length of Match: 1: x0.3 2: x0.6 3: x1 4: x1.5 5: x2 6: x3 Skills: Many Skills impact damage calculations. Damage multipliers for each Skill is listed on the "Skill" page. Status conditions: (depends on which status has been afflicted on the opposing Pokémon) Burn: damage x1.5 for attacking Fire types Spooked: damage x1.5 for attacking Ghost types Frozen: damage x1.2 for attacking Ice types Asleep: damage x1.2 for any attacking Pokémon

Disruptions

Disruptions are special icons or effects on tiles found in most Stages that are usually meant to hinder the player's ability to do damage to the enemy Pokémon. They are most frequently placed on the stage by the enemy Pokémon, but may also be present in a set pattern at the start of the stage or appear randomly as a forced 5th Support icon. There are a number of conditions that may trigger an enemy Pokémon to place disruptions, but the most common one is having the opposing Pokémon's disruption counter reach zero.

Disruption counters decrease when moves are made, regardless of whether it is a move-based or time-based stage. Many Skills and effects have an effect on the counter. Mind Zap will reset the counter to its initial value, while Prank will randomly change the counter to a number between 1 and its initial value. The counter will not decrease if the opposing Pokémon is Paralyzed, Asleep, Frozen, or stunned (by a Disruption Delay Item or Astonish and similar Skills) when a move is made. The counter will also not decrease if the first match causes a Pokémon to Mega Evolve or activates any Skill that causes any of the previously mentioned status effects, Burn, or Spooked.

All disruptions can be erased by Mega Effects. All disruptions (excluding Non-Support Pokémon) can be removed by the Stabilize(+) and Disrupt Buster Skills. Swap(+) Skills can replace disruption icons with Support Pokémon, though Pokémon within barrier or black-cloud disruptions will still be inside them. Additional disruption removal information is listed in the disruption descriptions below.

Disruption	Effect
Barrier	A barrier affects an entire tile and prevents the icon (including disruption icons) under it from moving in any way, including falling, as if it was frozen in place. The barrier, but not the icon underneath, will be cleared if a match is made that includes the non-Mega icon under the barrier or the Barrier Bash(+) Skill is activated. Both the barrier and the icon underneath is cleared if the tile is targeted by a Mega Effect (including the icon underneath the barrier being part of a Mega Pokémon match), if the breakable-rock or unbreakable-block disruption underneath it is destroyed through normal means, or if the icon underneath is specifically targeted and erased by a Skill, including Quirky(+), Eject(+), Rock Break(+), and other similar Skills.
Non-Support Pokémon	Any Pokémon icon of a Pokémon that was not selected as a Support Pokémon for the stage. It acts like any other Pokémon icon, and can be moved freely, perform matches with itself, and activating its Skill. Can be cleared with the Eject(+) Skill. Like other disruption icons, they can be created by the enemy Pokémon, come in pre-set positions on the board or in the skyfall, or appear randomly as a forced fifth Support Pokémon. If the player has chosen the forced fifth Support Pokémon as one of their standard four Support Pokémon, the forced fifth Support icon will be replaced by the first default Support icon (the icons that appear when Support slots are left empty) for that stage that has not been chosen as a Support Pokémon. This does not happen for Non-Support Pokémon (i.e. Mega Slowbro will always create Slowpoke icons whether the player has chosen it as a Support Pokémon or not). Prior to Version 1.3(3DS) or 1.6, Eject(+) would not remove forced fifth Support Pokémon icons.
Coin	An icon that gives players bonus Coins if matched. It can be moved freely, and can be cleared in any way a normal Pokémon icon can. If the stage is completed, any Coins matched will add to the Coin reward at the end of the stage. A match of three gives +100 Coins, a match of four gives +300, a match of five gives +500, and a match of six gives +700. No other multipliers affect the amount of Coins received.
Unbreakable-block	An icon represented by a square gray metal block that falls but cannot be actively moved by the player. Can be cleared by making 5 moves after it appears on the field, using the Block Smash(+) Skill, or Mega Effects.
Breakable-rock	An icon represented by a square brown rock that falls but cannot be actively moved by the player. Can be cleared by making a match in any square adjacent to it (but not diagonally), using the Rock Break(+) Skill, or Mega Effects. It is unaffected if a match removes an adjacent barrier disruption, but is destroyed if an adjoining unbreakable-block disruption breaks from five moves having been made.
Black-cloud	A black cloud that affects an entire tile, obscuring the visibility of whatever icon, if any, is underneath. Icons underneath one behave normally, and can still be moved or be part of a match. It can be cleared by Cloud Clear(+) or any Skill or Mega Effect that erases an icon below the black-cloud disruption, including Quirky(+), Block Smash(+) and other similar Skills. It is immune to Mega Effects if there is no icon under it when the effect activates and targets the square it is in. Since it is a tile-based disruption, it can be present on the same tile as any other type of disruption.

Let's shake things up!

If at any time during a stage there are no valid moves available to players (that at least result in a match of three Pokémon icons), the game will say "Let's shake things up!" and restore the Puzzle Area to its initial state. Any pre-set icons and disruptions will be replaced as they were, but other icons will be placed randomly again. The opposing Pokémon's disruption counter is not reset, however. Play then resumes as normal. The clock during time-limited Stages will stop while the initial state is restored. If this happens when moves or time have run out, no matches will occur on the reset Puzzle Area, should they be present, unless a Jewel is spent.

Mega Evolution

Main article: List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number → Mega Evolution

Mega Stones are given out throughout the game, typically awarded when players defeat the corresponding Mega Pokémon used by a Trainer, through Mission Card rewards, or as prizes on Special Stages. When players capture the corresponding Pokémon (always on a different stage from the Mega Pokémon stage), they can only activate its Mega Evolution by placing it in the leftmost Support position when setting up for a battle. Mega Evolution is activated by matching a minimum number of the Mega Evolving Pokémon's icons. Each matched icon slightly increases the Mega Gauge, found to the left of the Puzzle Area (above on Mobile). Pokémon of the same Type that have the Mega Boost(+) Skill can also fill the Mega Gauge. Once the Mega Gauge is full, the Pokémon will Mega Evolve. While Mega Evolved, the Pokémon's regular Skill is replaced by a Mega Effect that activates whenever it is matched. In time-limited stages, the clock stops while the Mega Evolution occurs, and in move-based stages, if the first match of a turn triggers the Mega Evolution, any disruptions or related effects (like the sleep timer) are delayed one turn. Pokémon with Mega Stones that are in the second, third, or fourth Support positions do not Mega Evolve.

Disruptions can be erased if they are targeted by a Mega Effect. If the Mega Effect erases icons, each icon erased increases the amount of Damage inflicted by the match.

Ranks

When a stage is completed, a Rank (C, B, A, or S) is given based on the number of moves or amount of time left at the end of the stage. The highest rank ever earned on a particular stage is displayed in the overworld, next to the stage. On certain types of Special Stages, ranks are not be given or displayed in the overworld, usually because the stage played may constantly change or a different ranking system is in place.

• For most Main Stages and Expert Stages, if the number of moves or amount of time remaining upon competition of the stage is greater than or equal to half the total number/amount of moves/time available (rounded down), an "S-rank" is achieved. All "Puzzle" Main Stages (which usually only have a single solution) will always give an S-Rank upon completion.
• While a "Moves +5" or "Time +10" Item does not affect catch rate percentages, it does affect Rank.
• S-Rank requirements for Special Stages tend to vary greatly based on the specific stage.

Expert Stages are unlocked depending on the total number of S-ranks players have achieved on the Main Stage path. S-ranks earned in Expert and Special Stages have no impact on gameplay, including contributing towards the unlocking of new Expert Stages.

Skills

Main article: Skill

Skills are special abilities that Pokémon activate when they are combined in a match. There are a wide variety of skills available in Pokémon Shuffle. Typically, the specific skill associated with a specific Pokémon never changes in Pokémon Shuffle. Players may adjust a limited number of Pokémon skills by using "Skill Swapper" Enhancements. The list of skills that may be swapped are unique to each Pokémon.

Support Pokémon

Captured Pokémon that are chosen to be taken into a battle against opposing Pokémon are referred to as Support Pokémon. Only the Pokémon placed in the first, or leftmost, Support position in the selection menu will be able to Mega Evolve. Most stages allow players to choose up to four different Support Pokémon, but in 3-Pokémon Stages, only three may be chosen. Each stage has four default icons that are used in place of Support Pokémon if the player owns fewer than four Pokémon, or chooses to bring three or fewer Support Pokémon into a stage. Some stages have additional forced Support icons found within the stage. If one of the chosen Support Pokémon is the same as a forced Support Pokémon, the first Pokémon from the stage's default Pokémon list that isn't one of the chosen Support Pokémon is used instead. If a "Complexity -1" Item is used, the Pokémon that is in the right-most Support Slot (or would fill in the case of defaults), or the last forced Support Slot, is completely removed from the Puzzle Area (excluding those placed as disruptions).

Type

Main article: Type

Like most Pokémon games, each Pokémon in Pokémon Shuffle has a specific Type, which broadly categorizes their background and abilities. In Pokémon Shuffle, Pokémon can only be 1 of the 18 Pokémon Types: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and . Each Pokémon's Type in Pokémon Shuffle matches one of their two Pokémon Types in the main video games. See the List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number for Pokémon Shuffle specific Type information.

Effectiveness

In Pokémon Shuffle, Pokémon Type affects gameplay by determining how effective the matchup of any two Pokémon will be. Any given matchup can be "Not very effective" (½x damage), Normal effectiveness (1x damage), or "Super effective" (2x damage). See the chart below for more information:

Note: Pokémon Shuffle converts all Generation VI "Completely ineffective" combinations to the "Not very effective" combination category. "Completely ineffective" combinations (i.e. no damage, 0x) do not appear in Pokémon Shuffle. In all other respects, the Pokémon Shuffle and Generation VI Effectiveness tables are identical.

3-Pokémon Stages

Pokémon Shuffle Stages that allow players to only selected three Support Pokémon are known as 3-Pokémon Stages. The Complexity -1 Item is not available in 3-Pokémon Stages. Due to there usually being fewer types of icons in the Puzzle Area, large Combos are much more frequent.

Check in

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Not checking in for a long period of time will allegedly increase the Check In bonus (maybe after a certain update). Confirmation/details needed.

Nintendo 3DS players 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 instead grant 1000 Coins every 10 times players Check in. Checking more than once in a 24-hour period does not contribute toward 1000 Coin rewards.

Checking in also checks for any patches that players may not have already installed. If there are any minor patches, the game asks 3DS players if they wish to download extra data. If they do, it automatically downloads and installs it. This is the only way to install minor game patches. If there are any major patches, the game provides a link to a page on the Nintendo eShop to download it and requests that players do so. If there is a major patch that players do not install, players cannot Check in. If a patch is released part way through the day and the Check In function has already been used, the patch can still be downloaded on that day by checking-in again.

Checking in also synchronizes the system's copy of UTC time with the server, regulating when Special Stages appear. If the system time is changed, players must Check In again to regain access to any active Special Stages they have, thereby resyncing with the server. Special Stages that do not begin on the day a new version is released can be accessed even if players have not Checked in 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 that Monday, regardless of whether or not they had Checked in on or after the release time).

Pokémon Shuffle Mobile does not have the "Check in" feature, but instead has "Data Update" functionality that runs automatically when the application is loaded. This "Data Update" installs minor and major updates automatically and requires a Internet connection. If no Internet connection is available to perform the "Data Update", Shuffle Mobile will not finish loading.

* Prior to version 1.2.0, Sweet Strasse was known as Bonbon Boulevard.

As of April 26, 2016, all versions of Pokémon Shuffle consist of over 441 stages, each of which gives players the chance to catch a unique Pokémon. New stages are still being added with routine updates to the game.

There are 4 groupings of stages in Pokémon Shuffle: Main Stages, Expert Stages, Special Stages, and Survival Mode. Stages typically cost one Heart to play and require players to defeat the opposing Pokémon within a certain number of moves (move-limited stages) or within a certain amount of time (time-limited stages).

• Main Stages are composed of 400 move-limited stages subdivided into thematic areas, each with their own music, background graphics, and final battle against a Trainer using a Mega Evolved Pokémon. Stages are revealed sequentially once the previous opposing Pokémon is defeated (not captured). Victory against a Mega Evolved Pokémon earns players a Mega Stone and a Jewel on the 3DS or a Mega Stone and five Hearts in Pokémon Shuffle Mobile.
• Expert Stages consist of 41 time-limited stages. As more Pokémon are defeated (not captured) in Main Stages at S-rank, a sequential list of Expert Stages are revealed. Defeating the same Pokémon at S-rank multiple times or earning S-rank in stages other than Main Stages do not count towards revealing new Expert Stages.
• Special Stages consist of a changing set of stages available for limited time periods, and are a mixture of move-limited and time-limited stages. The exact number of stages varies per week, or sometimes per day. Special Stages are also the only stages that may require Coins to play instead of Hearts.
• Survival Mode is a series of 50 move-limited stages during which players cannot alter their initial selection of Support Pokémon. Survival Mode is unlocked after defeating the first 150 Main Stages and progresses through a partially randomized selection of those same first 150 Main Stages. Special rewards are awarded when the player progresses past certain stage milestones. Less valuable rewards are given on subsequent attempts if the player had already reached that milestone before. Starting Survival Mode costs three Hearts, while individual stages within a challenge have no cost. Players may "Take a Break" and pause their current Survival Mode challenge by creating a temporary save point.

NOTE: If play is interrupted by the power being turned off, the Internet connection being lost, or players quitting to the home menu, the Hearts or Coins used to play the Stage are lost.

Mission Cards

Mission Cards were added in Version 1.3.0(3DS)/1.6.0(Mobile). Each Mission Card specifies a number of missions, each of which will earn the player a specified amount of Stars for completing it. Once specified amounts of Stars are earned within a Mission Card, the player will receive rewards.

Only one Mission Card can be active at a time. When a mission of the active Mission Card is completed, the player will be notified after completion of the stage, and automatically receive any items now qualified for. A mission's requirements must be completed within one attempt of a stage.

Jewels

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Other times the 'Buy Jewels, get 6 free' promotion was offered

The game's microtransactions are focused around Jewels. Jewels can be obtained in-game by completing Trainer Mega Pokémon stages (first time only, 3DS Shuffle only), rarely as prizes or rewards in certain Special Stages, 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 (3DS Shuffle) or in the Jewel Shop (Pokémon Shuffle Mobile). 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, 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.

Jewels can be exchanged for either Hearts or Coins at the following rates:

Pokémon Shuffle 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%)

Upon running out of turns or time during a stage, 1 Jewel can be spent to gain 5 additional turns or 15 seconds. This bonus is counted towards the time/move bonus when attempting to catch 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:

Dates of purchase	Dates of bonus availability
July 31 to August 3, 2015	August 5 to September 5, 2015
August 3 to 10, 2015	August 12 to September 12, 2015
August 10 to 17, 2015	August 19 to September 19, 2015

Starting in Version 1.33DS or Version 1.6Mobile, players who purchased a minimum amount of Jewels in a given month would receive bonuses for the remainder of that month depending on the number of Jewels bought:

Jewels purchased	Bonuses
5-9	Regenerating heart maximum increased by 1 Login coin bonus increased by 20%
10 or more	Regenerating heart maximum increased by 2 Login coin bonus increased by 40%

Hearts

Players begin the game with five Hearts. Each time most stages are played, a Heart is consumed; Hearts are replenished over time at the rate of one Heart every thirty minutes. Extra Hearts can be obtained as gifts, rewards for clearing certain stages, in exchange for Jewels, or through certain conditions via StreetPass or Facebook integration. If the number of Hearts obtained exceed the normal maximum number of regenerating Hearts, no Hearts will regenerate until the total number of remaining Hearts is lower than the normal maximum again. On the 3DS version, these extra hearts are stored separately from the regenerating hearts (as of Version 1.2). The maximum number of extra stored Hearts may not exceed 99.

Coins

Each time a stage is successfully completed (regardless of whether or not the Pokémon was caught), players are rewarded with a fixed number of Coins. This is typically 100 Coins for Main Stages, 300 Coins for Expert Stages, and 200 Coins for Special Stages. Clearing a stage again will result in a reward of 303DS or 20Mobile Coins. On Special Stages, the repeated stage clear reward may vary between 0 and 30 additional Coins, depending on the stage. Coin disruptions, if matched in a stage, will add more Coins to the stage clear reward. Coins may also be obtained occasionally as gifts or as rewards for clearing certain stages. Coins are spent on in-game Items and are used instead of Hearts to play certain Special Stages.

StreetPass

Main article: StreetPass

If StreetPass is enabled for Pokémon Shuffle, whenever players StreetPass another player with StreetPass enabled for Pokémon Shuffle on their Nintendo 3DS they will share data with each other. The last 10 players StreetPassed are 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, their number of previous StreetPass tags, and the furthest stage they have reached in Survival Mode, as well as the time they were last StreetPassed.

Additionally, players receive rewards based on the number of StreetPass tags they have gained.

Number of Tags	Reward
First StreetPass tag	1 Jewel
5 StreetPass tags	1 Heart
Every 10 StreetPass tags*	1 Heart
Every 100 StreetPass tags before 10,000 tags total	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.

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
6 Days	2 Hearts

In Pokémon Shuffle Mobile, Facebook integration or "Friend Codes" (version 1.6.0 on ) is used instead of StreetPass.

Version 1.2.x

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 players 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 players fail 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 (players 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 players leave a stage select screen and later returns to it, it will reappear exactly as players 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 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 players submit a score of 50,000 and is removed, players 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.

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.

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 players catch and use it. These icons are visible while browsing stages, as well as when players look 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 players are returned to that position upon reopening the game. For example, if players were to close the game while at the Meowth stage, then they would start there upon reopening the game. Prior to this update, players would always start at the furthest Main Stage that they had unlocked.
• The rank symbol appearing after clearing a level flashes continuously.
