Stage progression in Survival Mode reflects the {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Stages|Main Stage}} area sequence. Players face two or three randomly selected Pokémon from a Main Stage area or set of two areas and then a final battle or battles against the [[Trainer]](s) with {{DL|Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved}} Pokémon from that area or areas. Throughout a Survival Mode challenge, players use the initial {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} they selected before Stage 1. Players can only adjust their Support Pokémon selection by restarting the Survival Mode challenge. This is the unique challenge of Survival Mode, since players do not always know which opposing Pokémon they will be facing. Selecting Pokémon with the strongest {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Attack power - Level - XP|Attack power}}, useful [[Skill]]s, and a diversified selection of Pokémon {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Type}}s can be helpful strategies.

Survival Mode is a Pokémon Shuffle area that challenges players to make progress into a series of 50 stages without being able to alter their initial selection of Support Pokémon.

050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.

Stage progression in Survival Mode reflects the Main Stage area stage sequence. Players face a short series of randomly selected Pokémon from a Main Stage area or set of two areas and then a final battle or battles against the Trainer(s) with Mega Evolved Pokémon from the same area or areas. Throughout a Survival Mode challenge, players use the initial Support Pokémon they selected before Stage 1. Players may only adjust their Support Pokémon selection by restarting the Survival Mode challenge. This is the unique "challenge" of Survival Mode, since players do not always know which opposing Pokémon they will be facing. Selecting Pokémon with the strongest Attack power, useful Skills, and a diversified selection of Pokémon Types can be helpful strategies.

  • Survival Mode is unlocked only after players defeat the first 150 Main Stages. These Main Stages do not need to be defeated at any specific Rank, unlike unlocking Expert Stages.
  • Only the "Experience Points x1.5", "Mega Start", and occasionally "Disruption Delay" Items are available for purchase before individual Survival Mode stages.
  • Players start with 5 moves in Stage 1. All subsequent stages begin by adding 5 additional moves, "Victor's bonus moves +5", to the number of remaining moves left after defeating the previous stage. The minimum number of moves is always 5. Player cumulative performance determines the maximum number of moves.
  • Stage 1 does not start with any Disruptions or randomly select Pokémon that causes Disruptions. After Stage 1, randomly selected Survival Mode stages may or may not include starting Disruptions, Pokémon causing Disruptions, and 3-Pokémon Stages.
  • Special rewards are awarded after completing a fixed number of stages during a single challenge (see the Rewards table below). An initial set of rewards are provided the first time players defeat the fixed number of Survival Mode stages. Players receive a slightly less attractive set of rewards when they repeated the challenge. The initial set of rewards do not need to be achieved during the same challenge, but are achieved the first time they progress far enough into a Survival Mode challenge.
  • Players pay three Hearts to start a Survival Mode challenge. Individual stages within a challenge have no cost.
  • Defeating opposing Pokémon rewards 200 Coins if Players have not previously defeated the Pokémon anywhere in Pokémon Shuffle. Otherwise, defeating opposing Pokémon rewards 20 Coins.
  • Players always receive a fixed distribution of XP per stage. Defeating an opposing Pokémon rewards one Pokémon with 4 XP and the other three Pokémon 2 XP. If players are defeated, 1 XP per Pokémon is awarded.
  • Survival modes also offers the ability for players to "Take a Break" between each stage. Selecting this option pauses the current Survival Mode challenge and creates a "temporary save point". Players may have only one temporary save point at a time and cannot play other play Pokémon Shuffle play modes while a temporary save point exists. Players are forced to return to the Survival Mode save point once they restart Pokémon Shuffle or the temporary save point will be deleted.
