Pokémon Shuffle Update Available Adding New Stages And Features

Amid an avalanche of Nintendo news, a major update for the wildly successful Pokémon Shuffle was announced.

This update detailed on Pokémon Shuffle’s official website brings the following new features and stages to the game:

Super Catch Power!

Now Pokémon are easier to catch than before with the new Super Catch Power feature. When you get a chance to catch an enemy Pokémon at the end of a stage, the Super Catch Power feature may be triggered. When it is, your ability to catch that Pokémon gets a huge boost! Perhaps this will be the extra help you need to catch that Pokémon you’ve never quite been able to get.

Improved Heart Usage

Up until now, each player had a stock of Hearts which included both the Hearts that automatically regenerate and those received in exchange for Jewels or for passing by other players. With this update, the Hearts that a player automatically regenerates will be stored separately from those received by other methods, allowing regenerating Hearts to always be used first.

Checking Out Pokémon

Before the update, it was possible to check your Pokémon’s current level and skill on the Pokémon List that can be accessed from the menu or on the list of Support Pokémon displayed before beginning a stage. This update also lets you see such info whenever you catch a new Pokémon.

Combo Numbers Shown Longer
Your combo record is displayed on screen for a slightly longer amount of time. This gives you more time to capture your achievements for posting to Miiverse.

Even More New Kinds of Event Stages!
New kinds of stages are on the way! Stay tuned for details on these mysterious stages. For now, take a peek at screen shots of the upcoming stages.
