Pokémon Shuffle - Events
Details of the next event have been revealed.This event gives you access to the Pokémon Giratina and runs from Monday June 8th to June 22nd. This stage is the first in what is called an Escalation Battle. Each time you complete the stage, it levels up and becomes more complicated with added obstacles such as four columns of frozen blocks at Level 40 or instant disruption at Level 10. When you reach Level 5, you get 1,000 coins and when you get to Level 10, you get a Disruption Delay item. The likelihood for capture also increases as the stage's level gets higher
