After a couple of weeks of repeat events and daily Pokémon , a new update brings Pokémon to Pokémon Shuffle that have never been there before, including a brand new Safari Zone .

First off is Electivire, which is a solo stage that gives you 15 moves to complete. Electivire is an Electric type with 70 base power and the ability T-Boost. It also has a 10 percent catch rate with an increase of two percent for every move remaining.

The catch of this stage is it costs 300 coins to attempt every time so be sure you are fully prepared to go into battle.

Before we get into the new Safari Zone, Pokémon Shuffle has introduced a brand new item and mechanic. Every Pokémon has five points on their Skill Gauge. This Gauge increases the damage and effects of its ability.

You can increase this Gauge through some stages that have the item in the stage or through a brand new item. Skill Booster M will allow you to moderately fill your Pokémon’s Skill Gauge.

The next Safari Zone seven new Pokémon to try and catch. All of the Pokémon in this Safari Zone are either Psychic or Ghost types so you’d be better off taking Dark types or Ghost types. Mega Gengar is always a good option.

Electivire and the new Safari Zone will be available until May 31.
