This week’s Pokemon Shuffle update brings with it two new special stages.

A new Pokemon Safari is underway. In this one, you can randomly meet Roggenrola, Fletchling, Boldore, Fletchinder, Numel, Gigalith and Camerupt each time you play this stage. Water types seem like a solid choice for this one! The Safari will be available until January 12th.

Also, Talonflame is available as a timed stage. You have until January 12th to catch it.

It’s Tuesday, which means new content for Pokemon Shuffle.

First of all, the Mega Garchomp competition has ended, so make sure to claim your rewards.

New main stages have been added to the game. If you’ve managed to beat the fairly tough Roserade, you can now proceed with stage #251, Inkay.

Completing the Regi trio, Regice is now available as a special stage. You have until December 28th to beat it and catch it.

Another Legendary Pokemon making its return is Shaymin. You have until January 5th to get it. The first time you beat the stage, you will also receive a Jewel, so it’s worth doing it even if you have Shaymin already.

Finally, making its debut in Pokemon Shuffle is Keldeo in its Resolute form. It’s an escalation battle, meaning it will get progressively easier to catch it. You will also receive rewards after beating certain levels of this stage:

251000 Coins
301 Mega Speedup
401000 coins
501 Mega Speedup
601000 Coins
701 Disruption Delay
801 Attack Power Up
901000 Coins
1001 Mega Speedup

Update: Added in a Miiverse message from Aonuma after the break.


After the big 2.0.0 update earlier this month, another new patch is now available for The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes. Version 2.1.0 mainly features the introduction of hero points.

Below are the full patch notes:

  • Adds a new feature, hero points, that helps with progression through the game
  • Collecting hero points adds effects to the Bear Minimum Digs outfit, and you can also receive materials to create outfits you don’t have from the Street Merchant
  • Hero points can be obtained by:
    • Completing a bonus challenge or a level that you did not select during online play
    • Completing a level (regardless of what level or bonus challenge) in Local Play or Download Play
  • Introduces additional enhancements to improve the user’s experience and enjoyment
