[dropcap style=”style1″]M[/dropcap]atch-3 puzzler “Pokémon Shuffle” is coming to iOS and Android devices later this year, The Pokémon Company has announced.

Vietgame.asia – Pokémon Shuffle, the match-3 puzzler, is coming to iOS and Android this year as Pokémon Shuffle Mobile. The title came to 3DS back in February, and will once again be free to play.

Pokémon Shuffle proved incredibly popular on 3DS, with more than 4.5 million downloads from the eShop.

Smartphone games don’t often get closed beta tests like PC titles, but when it comes to Pokémon, it’s not too surprising to see that The Pokémon Company are doing just that for the release of Pokémon Shuffle on mobile devices in Japan.

The closed beta test will begin on June 30th until July 15th, and will be available for 10,000 players on the Japanese Google Play. It will feature over 30 different Pokémon for the closed beta.
