Pokémon Shuffle Update Adds New Content
Nintendo's free-to-play match-three 3DS puzzler gets an update that will make pokémon easier to catch among other changes. Here's the list of what to expect.
- The new Super Catch Power consumable can be used to greatly increase the odds that you will successfully catch a pokémon at the end of a level.
- The special Victini's stage will appear every Saturday and Sunday for a limited time and grant extra experience points.
- Heart usage has changed so that automatically regenerating hearts will be used first instead of ones earned through other methods.
- Players will be able to look at a pokémon's stats immediately upon catching them.
- Combo records are shown onscreen for a longer span of time.
Nintendo also promises that more new event stages are coming soon.
