After a major update to the popular Nintendo 3DS game, Pokémon Shuffle’s weekly update includes a brand-new Safari Zone with a peculiar Pokémon inside and the Zygarde 10% forme.
First, the Zygarde 10% forme will be a Dragon-type, with 50 base power and the ability Mega Boost+. The good folks over at the Pokémon Shuffle subreddit calculated the catch rate of the first Zygarde forme in the game.
The catch rate is 10 percent with an increase of eight percent per move remaining. Shufflers will have 17 moves to defeat Zygarde 10% and can do so until April 12.
Being a Dragon-type, you should bring your strongest Dragons, Fairy and Ice types. Mega Rayquaza is a good choice for the Mega Pokémon slot.
As for the latest Safari Zone in Pokémon Shuffle, there will be five new Pokémon and another that’s a variation of an old favorite.
“Angry” Pikachu is an Electric-type with 50 base power and the ability Super Bolt. It has a 28 percent catch rate with an eight percent increase with each move remaining.
Cleffa is a Fairy-type with 30 base power and the ability Mega Boost; it has a 12 percent catch rate with a three percent increase per move. The other two Pokémon from the Clefairy line are also Fairy types.
Clefairy has a base power of 50 with the ability Crowd Control. Its catch rate is 20 percent with a four percent increase with each remaining move. Clefable has 60 base power with the ability Pixie Power. Its base catch rate is three percent but with an 11 percent increase per move remaining.
Deerling (Spring) is a Grass-type with base power of 50 and the ability Eject. It has a ten percent catch rate with an increase of three percent with each move remaining. Its evolved form, Sawsbuck (Spring) is also a Grass-type with a base power of 60 and the ability Block Smash. It has a 12 percent catch rate with a 10 percent increase for each remaining move.
Like the Zygarde 10% stage, you’ll have until April 12 to catch all six Pokémon in the Safari Zone. You’ll only be allowed to take three Pokémon with you, so you’ll be best served to take two of your strongest Poison-type Pokémon (Nidoking, Nidoqueen and Crobat are good choices) with Gengar in your Mega Slot.
