A new Safari Zone has come to Pokémon Shuffle and with the update, Shufflers will have new Pokémon to catch in the Safari Zone and the handheld game has now introduced Shiny Pokémon to the game.

The Safari Zone includes seven new Pokémon that include the Shellder line, the Pidove line and Shiny Magikarp and Shiny Gyarados. So while there is no Optimize function in Safari Zones, Shufflers should bring Electric-type Pokémon.

The Safari Zone will run from June 21 to July 5.

According the Pokémon Shuffle subreddit , which Shufflers everywhere should check out, Shellder can be caught up with a 50 base power with the Block Smash ability with a 10 percent base catch percentage and a three percent increase per move.

Cloyster comes with 70 base power with the Rock Break ability and a 15 percent base catch rate and a three percent increase per move remaining.

Pidove has 30 base power with the Quirky ability and a 10 percent base catch rate and a three percent increase per move remaining. Tranquil has 50 base power with the Flap ability and a 19 base catch percentage and a two percent increase per move. Unfezant has the Nosedive ability with 60 base power and a 14 percent base catch rate and a four percent increase per move remaining.

Shiny Magikarp has a 30 base power with the ability Cheer and a 30 percent catch rate with a six percent increase per move remaining while Shiny Gyarados has 70 base power and the ability L-Boost. It has a base catch rate of 28 percent with a two percent increase with every move remaining.

Shufflers should be ready to do a lot of playthroughs as both Shiny Pokémon have a one percent chance or showing up.

But alongside the new Safari Zone are the returns of regular Gyarados and Landorus Therian Forme, which comes just in time as the Mega Gyarados competition will be coming the following week starting June 28.
