Mega Garchomp challenge now live on Pokémon Shuffle
Posted on 9 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in 3DS eShop | 0 comments
Special challenges on Pokémon Shuffle have given player the opportunity to gain Mega Stones for Pokémon that are typically unobtainable by normal means in the game. We’ve had many events since Pokémon Shuffle released earlier in the year, and we now have another one to join the ranks, this time for Garchomp!
The Mega Garchomp challenge is now live and will run until August 17th. Just like most of the other Mega Stone challenges so far, this is a competition to see which players can rank the highest in their respective regions. If you’re one of the top 12k in Europe, 18k in North America, and 50k in Japan, you’ll earn a Garchompite for Mega Garchomp. If you happen to also place in the top 16k in Europe, 26k in North America, or 70k in Japan, you’ll receive an Attack Power Up, while the top 3k in Europe, 5k in North America and 15k in Japan will also obtain a Mega Speedup alongside the previously listed. As usual, if you happen to not rank in your region you will still be awarded a Jewel just for trying, so give it a shot! You have nothing to lose!
