The latest Pokémon Shuffle update brings in another Legendary Pokémon and the return of a Safari Zone, with some added captures.
Hoopa joins Pokémon Shuffle as its own stage. It is a Ghost-type with 70 base power and a 13 percent base catch rate. Players will have 19 moves to defeat Hoopa and every move remaining gives an increase of four percent. The caveat for this stage is you’ll need to spend 400 coins to enter.
The Ghost-type Pokémon comes with the ability Barrier Bash+.
The new Safari Zone has some familiar faces. The Manectric line, Darmanitan line and Stantler return in this Safari Zone, joined by a Winking Pikachu and Winking Raichu.
With all of these Safari Zones, you can’t optimize your team but you’d be better off bringing all Ground-type Pokémon. Also, if you already caught one of these Pokémon, you’ll have a chance to gain more coins, experience or even a Booster M if you encounter them again.
Both Hoopa and the new Safari Zone will run until July 26.
Here’s the Pokémon and their stats in this week’s Safari Zone courtesy of the Pokémon Shuffle subreddit.

Manectric: Electric-type, 60 base power with the Hitting Streak ability. Has a five percent Base catch + three percent per move.
