Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chickitect at none against Pokémon Shuffle Mobile's 9. Chickitect also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Pokémon Shuffle Mobile's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (13K vs 4). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
