Some skills include erasing certain disruptions, preventing disruption countdowns, and dealing extra damage.Įach ability has a Skill Level and Skill Gauge, which, when increased, increases either the damage modifier or activation rate of the ability (depending on the ability itself). Activation rate depends on the skill itself, but generally the chance is higher if more in a row are matched. Certain types are super effective against target Pokémon, dealing twice the damage than normal, and other types are not very effective, dealing only half the damage.Įach Pokémon have an Skill (similar to abilities in traditional Pokémon games) that can trigger during stages when the player matches that Pokémon first in a combo. When deciding which Pokémon to bring to battle, the player can use the Optimize button, which will automatically select Pokémon with the highest attack power and whose types are super effective on the target Pokémon.Įach Pokémon have a single Type, in contrast to traditional Pokémon games which allow for up to two types. Some stages have an additional Non-Support Pokémon that isn't on the player's team, which results in more difficult gameplay. These Pokémon appear on the puzzle grid for matching. Pokémon that the player catch can be used as Support Pokémon. The only current use of this system is to unlock Expert Stages by achieving a certain number of S-Ranks in the Main Stages. The rank given can be either S, A, B, or C, in order from highest to lowest. When a player clears a stage, a Rank is given based on the number of moves/seconds left. If the player succeeds in catching the Pokémon, they can use them as Support Pokémon in future stage attempts. There is also a chance of Super Catch Power, which greatly increases catchability. If the player fails on the first attempt, the Catchability doubles, but the player has to pay 2500 Coins (3500 on Mobile) for Great Balls for further attempts. Catch rates are fixed and varies across stages, but can be increased with any extra moves/seconds that the player has after clearing the stage. However, the game will offer to recover 5 moves or 15 seconds at the cost of 1 Jewel.Ĭatchability is the catch rate of the target Pokémon that the player can catch once they clear a stage. If the player runs out of moves or time without depleting the target Pokémon's HP bar (aka reaching a certain score), the player has failed to clear the stage, and cannot continue and try to catch the Pokémon (if the player has not caught it already). If the stage has a predefined layout, it will reset to that layout. If, after the icons settle, there are no available moves left, a message will appear saying "Let's shake things up!", and the grid will be reset.
Various Skills can interact with the countdown or erase certain disruptions, and Mega Powers always erase disruptions (if it is a Mega Power that erases icons). Some stages have two or more sets of rules, and switch between them after one has been carried out a certain number of times or a certain HP threshold has been reached. In case it's not there, the trigger condition may be based on combo. Stages with disruption rules may or may not have a countdown timer next to the target Pokémon, indicating in how many moves the stage will disrupt. Disruptions occur during stage gameplay as an attempt to limit the player's gameplay.
The score is the total damage dealt so far during a stage.Įach stage has its own set of Disruption rules. In either mode, whenever Pokémon icons are matched, damage is dealt to the target Pokémon. In time-limited stages, the player can swap any two Pokémon icons at any time (even during combos) until the target Pokémon's HP bar is depleted or time runs out. In move-limited stages, the player can swap any two Pokémon icons as long as a match of three or more is made, but won't be able to make another move until the icons settle (aka the combo ends). There are also Expert Stages, which are stages limited by time rather than by moves, and are unlocked by achieving certain amounts of S-Ranks, and Special Stages, which are event stages that are only available for set durations (usually 1 or 2 weeks), and have unique stage rules not found in the main or expert stages.Īn example of a stage on the Mobile version The first 11 stages make up the Tutorial, in which Amelia teaches the player the basic gameplay and features. There are currently 23 areas in the Main Stages, each with several to many stages within. Pokémon Shuffle is a puzzle game where the player matches Pokémon icons in rows of three or more, similar to Pokémon Battle Trozei.
