There are 4 groupings of stages in Pokémon Shuffle: Main Stages, Expert Stages, Special Stages, and Survival Mode. Stages typically cost one {{DL||Hearts|Heart}} to play and require players to defeat the opposing Pokémon within a certain number of moves (move-limited stages) or within a certain amount of time (time-limited stages). Initially, the player only has access to Main Stages; most of the other types of stages become available after the tutorial has been completed.

* Main Stages are composed of 620 move-limited stages subdivided into thematic areas, each with their own music, background graphics, and final battle against a boss, which is usually a [[Trainer]] using a {{DL||Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved}} Pokémon. Stages are revealed sequentially once the previous opposing Pokémon is defeated. Victory against a Mega Evolved Pokémon earns players a [[Mega Stone]] and a {{DL||Jewels|Jewel}} on the 3DS or a Mega Stone and five {{DL||Hearts}} in {{DL||Pokémon Shuffle Mobile}}. The first 11 stages make up the tutorial.

* [[Expert Stages]] consist of 50 time-limited stages. As more Pokémon are defeated in Main Stages at {{DL||Ranks|S-rank}}, a sequential list of Expert Stages is revealed at various points. Defeating the same Pokémon at S-rank multiple times or earning S-rank in stages other than Main Stages do not count towards revealing new Expert Stages.
* [[Expert Stages]] consist of 51 time-limited stages. As more Pokémon are defeated in Main Stages at {{DL||Ranks|S-rank}}, a sequential list of Expert Stages is revealed at various points. Defeating the same Pokémon at S-rank multiple times or earning S-rank in stages other than Main Stages do not count towards revealing new Expert Stages.
* [[Special Stages]] consist of a changing set of stages available for limited time periods, and are a mixture of move-limited and time-limited stages. Special Stages are unlocked after completing the tutorial. Special Stages are downloaded during the {{DL||check in}} process, and can only be played during the limited event period. The exact number of stages varies per week, or sometimes per day. Special Stages are also the only stages that may require {{DL||Coins}} to play instead of {{DL||Hearts}}.

* [[Survival Mode]] is a series of 60 move-limited stages during which players cannot alter their initial selection of {{DL||Support Pokémon}}. Survival Mode is unlocked after defeating the first 150 Main Stages and progresses through a partially randomized selection of the first 300 Main Stages. Special rewards are awarded when the player progresses past certain stage milestones. Less valuable rewards are given on subsequent attempts if the player had already reached that milestone before. Starting Survival Mode costs three {{DL||Hearts}}, while individual stages within a challenge have no cost. Players may "Take a Break" and pause their current Survival Mode challenge by creating a temporary save point.
