It seems Pokémon Shuffle is really cranking out the ‘Mon to catch in its popular Nintendo 3DS and mobile game. With weekly updates adding new Pokémon, shufflers will fill up their rosters in no time.
This week, the Flying type Noivern joins Pokémon Shuffle until March 29. The 70 base power ‘Mon comes with the ability Cloud Clear ++ and this battle is timed. Shufflers will have one minute to defeat Noivern and catch it.
The good folks over at the Pokémon Shuffle subreddit have compiled all the details for Noivern including its base catch percentage, which will start at five percent and increase by six percent for every three seconds remaining.
But Noivern isn’t the only Pokémon joining Shuffle. A new Safari Zone has appeared and includes new Pokémon.
The new Pokémon include: Houndour, which is a Fire type with 50 base power and the ability Mega Boost. Its base catch percentage is 12 with a five percent increase with every move remaining. Houndoom is also a Fire type with a 70 base power and the ability Risk Taker. Its base catch percentage is 29 with a three percent increase for every move remaining.
Pineco, the Bug type, has a base power of 40 and the ability Counterattack. Its base catch percentage is 18 with a six percent increase per move remaining. Its evolved form, Forretress, is also a Bug type with the ability Rock Break and 60 base power. Its base catch percentage is 18 with a three percent increase per move.
Hoothoot is a Flying type with a base power of 30 and the ability Swap. Its base catch percentage is 11 and it has a three percent increase per move remaining. Hoothoot is also a good stage to farm for coins as its disrupts create coins.
Noctowl is also a Flying type with a 60 base power and the ability Power of 5. Its base catch percentage is 20 with a two percent increase per move remaining. Noibat is a Flying type with 30 base power and the ability Mega Boost. Its base catch percentage is 14, which increases by three per move remaining.
All of the Safari Zone Pokémon have one weakness in common: the Rock typing. Be sure to go in with powerful ‘Mon like Tyranitar and Regirock. We had great success using Gengar in our Mega Pokémon slot, so try it out.
The new Safari Zone will run until March 29.
