This week brings a bunch of stages to both Pokémon Shuffle and Pokémon Shuffle, including new stages being permanently added to the main game.

The newest version of Miitomo can now be downloaded. Version 1.1.3 went live on iOS tonight, and hit Android a few days ago.

Miitomo version 1.1.3 implements “speed optimizations for some processes.” Nintendo says that bug fixes have been added in as well.

This week’s Pokémon Shuffle update brings a new challenge, the Ash-Greninja stage, and three repeats. Ash-Greninja is based on the unique form Ash’s Grenjinja takes in the anime, and it’s a minute-long High Speed Challenge that will run until May 3rd.

Meanwhile, the Mega-Blaziken challenge has returned, giving players another chance to earn some Blazikenite. If you’re in the top 22,000 in the US, 15,000 in Europe or 60,000 in Japan, you’ll receive the coveted Blazikenite, or (if you already earned it from the last round) you’ll win a Mega Speedup. The top 3,500 in the US, 2,500 in Europe and 10,000 in Japan will also get a Raise Max Level. The top 30,000 in the US, 20,000 in Europe, and 80,000 in Japan will get an Attack Power, and all other players will get a Disruption Delay. The Mega-Blaziken challenge runs until April 26th.

Finally, both Keldeo and Infernape are returning, and will run until May 3rd.

Here’s a roundup of details from Reddit:

Nintendo just published a new video about Miitomo, which shows off the game’s features. Nothing new for anyone who’s played it already, but it is a good overview for those who aren’t familiar with the game yet:
