Template:Gameinfobox Pokémon Shuffle is a free Nintendo 3DS downloadable game that was announced on the January 2015 Nintendo Direct and released in February 2015 worldwide.
Info
It is a puzzle game on Nintendo 3DS which is very similar to Pokémon Battle Trozei. Unlike Pokémon Battle Trozei there's a limit to how much you can play over a period of time. Your play limit is counted as Hearts. When you first launch the game you will start out with 5 free Hearts. If you have 0 Hearts then you can't play. You regenerate 1 Heart every 30 minutes if you have under 5 Hearts. You loose 1 Heart every time you try a stage, whether you lose the stage or not. If you can't complete a stage then before you start it again, buy power-ups using coins. Coins are obtained every time you complete a stage. Coins can also be obtained by matching 3 or more Coins in a Special Meowth Stage. Unfortunately a Special Meowth Stage isn't always available to play.
How To Play
Match 3 or more Pokémon in a row using strategy with type advantages. Matching 3 or more Pokémon in a row will cause more Pokémon to fall on the top of the stage. Doing that might in turn cause a chain reaction in which more Pokémon begin falling down and down matching together with 3 more. Each time you match 3 or more Pokémon in a row the opposing Pokémon loses HP. When the opposing Pokémon has 0 HP left, you win the stage and get a chance at capturing it if you haven't already. If you have caught a Pokémon that can mega evolve and you have a mega stone that can mega evolve it, then you're in luck. When a Pokémon mega evolves it changes the current music playing and the mega evolved Pokémons sprite. Also matching 3 or more of a mega evolved Pokémon will result in other Pokémon around it disappearing. There are 3 types of stages you can try. Those are Main Stages, Expert Stages, and Special Stages. In the Main Stages, you have a certain number of swaps with an unlimited amount of time. In the Expert Stages, you are given a certain amount of time with unlimited swaps. The Special Stages are pretty much the same as the Main Stages expect they only have Event Pokémon.

Purchasing In-Game Items
If you don't want to wait for your Hearts to regenerate or need Coins fast, then you can buy them instantly with Jewels. Jewels can sometimes be obtained by completing stages. You can also buy Jewels with real world money over the internet. You can only spend up to 1, 3, 6, or 12 Jewels at a time. You can spend your Jewels on either Coins or Hearts, not both. The bigger spends will initially give you a better deal.
| 1 Jewel = | +3000 Coins | +5 Hearts |
| 3 Jewels = | +10000 Coins | +18 Hearts |
| 6 Jewels = | +22000 Coins | +38 Hearts |
| 12 Jewels = | +48000 Coins | +80 Hearts |
If for some reason you decide to spend real world money on virtual items then you have 5 options.
| Purchase | Price in $ | Price in £ |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Jewel | 0.99 | 0.89 |
| 6 Jewels | 4.99 | 4.49 |
| 12 Jewels | 8.99 | 8.09 |
| 35 Jewels | 24.99 | 22.49 |
| 75 Jewels | 47.99 | 42.99 |
