Pokémon Shuffle
Today, a special stage featuring Eevee went live in Pokémon Shuffle. It’s a bit special, because it’s only playable today, but will come back from time to time on Thursdays. If you play it, you can earn a Skill Booster S and a Skill Booster M. Unfortunately, there’s a catch: you can only play it for free once a day. You can replay it up to three times, by using 1 Jewel each time.
