Pokemon Shuffle update: Mewtwo, Regigigas and more
Posted 8 years ago by Matt in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
Several new special stages have come to Pokemon Shuffle. First of all, a special Mewtwo commemorative stage has been added to the game. Previously, Mewtwo was only available in an Expert stage that required you to beat 150 regular stages with an S rank. In this special stage, which will be available until January 19th, items cost nothing, so Mewtwo shouldn’t be too hard to catch.
Next, Regigigas will be available until December 28th. You will have an easier time catching this Pokemon if you have Regirock, Registeel and Regice in your team.
Speaking of which, all three of those are making a return to the game. Regirock will be available until December 18th. It will be followed by Registeel and then Regice.
Finally, the Mega Garchomp competition makes a return. If you haven’t gotten a Garchompite the first time around, now’s your chance. The top 12,000 players in Europe, 18,000 in North America and 50,000 in Japan will receive a Garchompite. If you make it to the top 1,200 in Europe, 1,800 in North America or 5,000 in Japan, you will also receive a Mega Speedup. The top 20,000 in Europe, 30,000 in North America and 50,000 in Japan will receive an Attack Power Up. Everyone else who participates will receive a Disruption Delay. If you already have a Garchompite and place in the top spots, you will receive a Jewel instead.
