'Pokémon Shuffle' update: New stages for 'Pokémon Sun' and 'Pokémon Moon' creatures added to puzzle game

"Pokémon Shuffle" is a puzzle video game developed by Genius Sonority and published by The Pokémon Company.mynintendonews.com

"Pokémon Shuffle" has received interesting new stages for players to try out.

On Tuesday, The Pokémon Company announced that new themes centered on Alola (the region from "Pokémon Sun" and "Pokémon Moon") can now be accessed in "Pokémon Shuffle." Creatures from "Pokémon Sun" and "Pokémon Moon" such as Popplio, Rowlet, and Litten can be caught in these certain stages. Popplio is available to catch from May 9 until May 23, while Rowlet can be caught from May 23 to June 6. Litten, on the other hand, is available for two weeks (Apr. 25 to May 9). In addition, all players who log into the game between May 2 and May 30 will get the Alolan Vulpix creature.

Once the event for the next creature starts, each Pokémon will no longer be available for capture. This means players should take the chance to catch them all while they are still up for grabs. It is worth noting that the said Pokémon characters are not the only creatures from the Alolan region to be released. New Pokémon events will be open each week, starting off with a Mimikyu event. A unique Cosmog event will also be open for everyone, but users should take note that they can only try to play in the event once per day.

The developers are also offering daily rewards for its loyal players, beginning with 2,000 free coins earlier this week. Players are encouraged to drop by the Special Shop to get their free "No Hearts Needed" item, which grants infinite Hearts for a total of 15 minutes. It is perfect for those who will be exploring the dreaded Pokémon Safari before it goes away. Additionally, players who have not played the game for a while should know that there are now 580 main stages in the puzzle.

In other related news, the next Global Mission for "Pokémon Sun" and "Pokémon Moon" is ongoing. The challenge requires players to collectively earn 3 million Poké Beans in the Poké Pelago. Upon completing the task, players will be rewarded with 2,000 Festival Coins. More details about the mission can be viewed here.

Developed by Genius Sonority and published by The Pokémon Company, "Pokémon Shuffle" is available for Nintendo 3DS, Android, and iOS.
