Pokémon news (June 4th) – Pokémon Shuffle: new event and stages

Pokémon Shuffle

Today, The Pokémon Company announced a new event for Pokémon Shuffle, featuring Giratina. It’s a brand new kind of stage, called “Escalation Battle”: every time you beat it, it gets more and more complicated. New obstacles are added constantly, such as instant disruption at Level 10 or four columns of frozen blocks at Level 40.

Each time you beat it, you get a reward, which changes depending on the level. For example, you get 1000 coins at Level 10, a Disruption Delay item at Level 10, etc.. This event will run from June 8th to June 22nd.

But that’s not all: brand new stages will also be added on Monday. They include: Garbodor (#194), Doublade (#195) and Conkeldurr (#198), but also three new expert stages with Chesnaught, Delphox and Greninja.
