===Weekly events===
====Meowth's Coin Mania====
Meowth's Coin Mania (Japanese: ニャースコインゲット 's Coin GET) is a special stage that allows the player to obtain a large number of 
s in a single stage. The stage is only available during the 24-hour period in which it becomes available, and it may only be played a limited number times per period. This Meowth has an unlimited amount of HP, and thus cannot be "defeated" or caught.
 Coins appear in this stage as a 5th Support Icon, meaning that Coins will appear pseudo-randomly among the other on the initial board and in the skyfall. If the player gets a combo of 3 or more, Meowth will disrupt and replace three or (less frequently) five non-Coin icons currently on the board within two adjacent columns with Coins. Since this disruption does not rely on a countdown, if the disruption causes another combo of 3 or more, Meowth will disrupt repeatedly.
After completion of the stage, if there are no more attempts available, it will disappear until the next day it is available. On certain versions of the game, the stage will become locked after the first time it is played per period, with additional attempts becoming unlocked if the player spends a Jewel.
In the 3DS version, the initial period of availability was from February 21 to March 15, 2015, available on both Saturday and Sunday each week. On March 21, 2015, its availability was extended indefinitely. Starting in version 1.2.1, the stage is only available once each Sunday, with available on Saturdays instead. Starting on April 3, 2016, Jewel ×1 can be spent to unlock this stage for 3 more attempts per period.
In Pokémon Shuffle Mobile, the stage is available on both Saturdays and Sundays but if comes on a Saturday this stage appears on the Sunday only. The stage can be played once per day. Two additional attempts can be made per day in exchange for Jewel ×1 for each attempt. Starting on January 31, 2016, a Jewel can be spent to unlock this stage for 3 more attempts instead of 2. As of Mobile version 1.6.3, this stage is only available on Sundays.
In version 1.3.36 (3DS)/1.9.7 (Mobile), on February 18, 2017, the event period was temporarily changed to Saturday until Monday to celebrate the game's 2nd anniversary and this change also applied to the following week on February 25, 2017. However, in version 1.3.38 (3DS)/1.9.10 (Mobile), the period was changed again to Fridays until Mondays, effective from March 3, 2017. This was also the new regular event period.
In version 1.4.10 (3DS)/1.10.5 (Mobile), on April 28, 2017, Meowth (Alola Form) replaced Meowth. 
In version 1.4.17 (3DS)/1.10.12 (Mobile), on July 14, 2017, Meowth resumed appearing and replaced Meowth (Alola Form).
In version 1.4.19 (3DS)/1.10.15 (Mobile), on August 11, 2017, Meowth (Alola Form) reappeared. From here, Meowth or Meowth (Alola Form) would take turn appearing in the stage but the weeks they would actually be appearing were not specified in advance.

====Skill Booster M Stage!====
Skill Booster M Stage! (Japanese: スキルパワーMゲットステージ Skill Power M GET Stage) (previously "Skill Booster S Stage!" until December 18, 2016) is a special stage featuring which, if cleared, will allow the player to obtain one or more Skill Booster . During the stage, Eevee may drop up to three Skill Boosters - one Skill Booster S is guaranteed, but one additional Skill Booster S and one Skill Booster M each also have a chance to be dropped. 
Similar to and , the stage is only available during a 24-hour period. After each attempt of the stage, it will become locked; Jewel ×1 may be spent up to five times to unlock the stage for one additional attempt each, with the stage disappearing after the 6th attempt. This stage first became available on June 9, 2016 and returned every Sunday.
Prior to Version 1.3.24 (3DS)/1.8.7 (Mobile), it was held on Thursdays and the maximum number of Jewels that could be used to unlock the stage was 3. During this period, the stage was initially only occasionally available on Thursdays, at some point changing to be available every Thursday. 
From version 1.3.31 (3DS)/1.9.2 (Mobile), a Skill Booster M is guaranteed to be dropped instead. Moreover, the event periods were extended for competitive stage weeks and nine Jewels can be spent to unlock the stage for 9 more attempts during this period. 
In version 1.3.36 (3DS)/1.9.7 (Mobile), on February 12 and 19, 2017, the event periods were temporarily changed to Sundays until Wednesdays to celebrate the game's 2nd anniversary. It returned to the previous schedule on February 26, 2017. However, in version 1.3.38 (3DS)/1.9.10 (Mobile), the period was changed again to Saturdays until Wednesdays, regardless of whether there was a competitive stage on the week, effective from March 4, 2017. This was also the new regular event period. (However, for April 22, 2017, it ended on Tuesday, April 25, instead of Wednesday for a single time.)

====Tons of Exp. Points====
Tons of Exp. Points (Japanese: ビクティニで経験値ゲット Victini's Experience Points GET) is a special stage that allows a player to obtain a large number of experience points with a single , as well as a chance to catch the Mythical Pokémon . The stage operates similarly to and in that the stage appears in 24-hour periods and can only be played a limited number of times in each period, after which it disappears. In certain versions of the game, the stage can only be played once per period; in others it can be played multiple times per period, but the stage will be locked after each attempt, requiring Jewel ×1 to unlock.
In the 3DS version, the event "Exp. Points from Victini!" was made available on May 30, 2015 for the first time. From May 30, 2015 to March 26, the stage was only able to be played once per 24-hour period. From April 2, 2016 to July 16, 2016, the stage became locked after each attempt, and players could spend a Jewel to unlock it for one additional attempt per Jewel. During this period, the maximum number of Jewels that could be spent was three per 24-hour period. The stage is available every Saturday for 24 hours (Saturday 6:00 AM to Sunday 6:00 AM time).
In the Mobile version, Victini first became available in version 1.2.4. While the stage data was the same, players could spend up to 2 Jewels for one additional attempt per Jewel in each 24-hour period. From January 30, 2016 to July 16, 2016, the total number of Jewels that could be spent was increased to 3.
From July 19, 2016 onwards, the total number of Jewels that could be spent to unlock additional attempts was increased to 5 in both versions.
Prior to Mobile version 1.6.3, Victini appeared every other Saturday; thereafter it became a regular weekly event like in the 3DS version. Starting on May 31, 2016, Victini also began to appear occasionally on Tuesday in both versions. Thus far, its Tuesday appearances have coincided with competitive stages.
From August 2, 2016 onwards (ver. 1.3.16 (3DS)/1.7.4 (Mobile)), the total experience gained from the stage was increased by 25%.
From November 22, 2016 onwards (ver. 1.3.28 (3DS)/1.8.12 (Mobile)), it became a regular event for competitive stage week, too and Victini appeared on both Tuesdays (for 24 hours and five jewels can be used to unlock additional attempts) and Saturdays (to Tuesdays and nine jewels can be used.)
From December 20, 2016 onwards (ver. 1.3.31 (3DS)/1.9.2 (Mobile)), the total experience gained from the stage was doubled.
In version 1.3.36 (3DS)/1.9.7 (Mobile), on February 11 and 18, 2017, the event period were temporarily changed to Saturdays until Wednesdays to celebrate the game's 2nd anniversary. It returned to the previous schedule on February 25, 2017. However, in version 1.3.38 (3DS)/1.9.10 (Mobile), the period was changed again to Sundays until Wednesdays, regardless of whether there was a competitive stage on the week, effective from March 5, 2017. (However, for April 23, 2017, it ended on Tuesday, April 25 for a single time.)
In version 1.4.10 (3DS)/1.10.5 (Mobile), on April 30, 2017, Magearna replaced Victini.
In version 1.4.17 (3DS)/1.10.12 (Mobile), on July 16, 2017, Victini resumed appearing and replaced Magearna.
In version 1.4.19 (3DS)/1.10.15 (Mobile), on August 13, 2017, Magearna reappeared. From here, Victini or Magearna would take turns appearing in the stage but the weeks they would actually be appearing were not specified in advance.
