There are generally three different types ofitems inPokémon Shuffle. One group applies to a specific stage and can be bought with Coins, mostly immediately before starting the stage. Another group has effects that apply to the whole game for a period of time and can only be bought with Jewels during Special Shop periods. The final group are called Enhancements and are applied to specific Pokémon as permanent improvements; these cannot be bought.

The player can store up to 99 of any item. The Great Ball and game-wide items can only be obtained by purchase and are used immediately, so it is impossible to hold any stock of them.

Stage-use items

When the player selects a stage to play, the lower part of the screen will display an inventory of items that the player can buy or use to affect the stage when they play it. These items can sometimes be obtained as rewards for completing certain stages.

Each of these items has a cost in Coins, but if the player currently has stock for an item that they previously obtained, the game will display the player's stock of that item instead of its cost. The stocked items will be consumed before Coin-cost items - the player cannot spend Coins on a specific item unless their stock of that item has reached 0.

Item		Japanese name	Cost (3DS)	Cost (Mobile)	Description	Usable at
	Moves +5	手かず+5 Number of Moves + 5	Coins ×800	Coins ×1,000	Increases the moves left by 5 moves, but does not affect ability tocatch Pokémon.	Stages with a move limit (but notcompetitive stages)
	Time +10	制限時間+10秒 Time Limit + 10 Seconds	Coins ×800	Coins ×1,000	Increases the time left by 10 seconds, but does not affect ability tocatch Pokémon.	Stages with a time limit (but notcompetitive stages)
	Exp. Points ×1.5	経験値1.5倍 Experience Points 1.5×	Coins ×300	Coins ×800	Increases the Exp. Points earned at the end of a stage by 50%.	Not inspecial stages that do not awardExperience.
	Mega Start	メガスタート Mega Start	Coins ×2,000	Coins ×2,500	Your Pokémon in the first slotMega Evolves as a stage begins.	Only if aSupport Pokémon canMega Evolve.
	Complexity -1	パズルポケモン-1 Puzzle Pokémon -1	Coins ×9,000	Coins ×9,500	One less kind of Pokémon, rock, or block will appear.	Not in3-Pokémon Stages,Survival Mode, or certain other stages.
	Disruption Delay	オジャマガード Disruption Guard	Coins ×1,500	Coins ×2,000	Delays your opponent'sdisruptions.	Only if the opponent can causedisruptions at the beginning of the stage.
	Attack Power ↑	パワーアップ Power Up	Coins ×3,000	Coins ×5,000	Attack power gets doubled.	Certainspecial stages, and UX main stages.

Notes:

• The items Moves +5 and Time +10 do not affect the stage's clear bonus towards catch rate, but they do positively affect the player's ranking (S, A, B, or C), and extend the duration of Disruption Delay.
• Disruption Delay will last until the stage's moves/time reach half or below-half of the stage's maximum. If Moves +5 or Time +10 are used, then the amount of moves/time after adding them is treated as the maximum.

These items can be received from:

• Main Stage 20 ( Mega Start only, and only for Mobile)
• SomeMission Cards (Mega Start and Disruption Delay)
• special stages
  • Manycompetitive stages (particularly Disruption Delay and Attack Power ↑ for lower rankings)
  • Manyescalation battles
  • SomeA Great Chance a Day! stages ( Moves +5, Mega Start, Disruption Delay, and Attack Power ↑)

Great Ball

If the player fails tocatch a Pokémon, they can try again with aGreat Ball, costing Coins ×2500 in the 3DS Shuffle or Coins ×3500 inPokémon Shuffle Mobile. Catches with a Great Ball double the catchability percentage. (This does not stack if multiple throws are made.)

Game-use items

These items can only be bought from theSpecial Shop, which only opens for limited time periods. These items cost Jewels to buy. They are used immediately upon purchase, and affect the whole game for a period of time. Only one can be active at a time; while one is active, the player cannot buy any others from the Special Shop.

Special Shop

Broadly speaking, the Special Shop is usually open for three weeks at a time (sometimes more or less), and usually has at least a month (sometimes more than two) between open dates. During its open times, the Special Shop's campaign is usually divided into consecutive 1-week periods. During each period, only a limited quantity of each item in the Special Shop is available; in the next period, the items are restocked if the player previously bought any. The Special Shop's openings are described in the following table.

As of September 26, 2017, the Special Shop has been made available indefinitely, with restocks occurring every week on Tuesday at 6:00 AM UTC.

The items available in the Special Shop are described in the table below. Some items have differences in their effects based on the Special Shop release it was in.

Enhancements

AnEnhancement (Japanese:グッズGoods) permanently improves a Pokémon when used on it. Enhancements cannot be bought. They may be used on a Pokémon when selecting Support Pokémon for a stage, in the Pokémon swap menu. Using an Enhancement consumes it.

Personalized Skill Booster

See also:Skill (Shuffle),Drop (Shuffle)

Personalized Skill Boosters may also be considered an Enhancement, but unlike the other Enhancements, these cannot be held in stock to be used as the player desires. Personalized Skill Boosters onlydrop on certain stages, if the player has already caught the opponent Pokémon. Upon clearing the stage, any personalized Skill Boosters that dropped are immediately added to that Pokémon'sSkill Gauge. A single personalized Skill Booster adds 1 point to the Skill Gauge.

They can be found in many Main Stages starting atMain Stage 401, as well as in manyspecial stages.
