Survival Mode is unlocked only after players defeat the first 150 {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Stages|Main Stage}}s. These Main Stages do not need to be defeated at any specific {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Ranks|Rank}}, unlike unlocking [[Expert Stages]]. Players may only adjust the initial {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} they selected before Stage 1 by restarting the Survival Mode challenge. This is the unique "challenge" of Survival Mode, since players will not always know which opposing Pokémon they will face or how many moves they will have to face them. Selecting Pokémon with the strongest {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Attack power, Level, and XP|Attack power}}, useful [[Skill]]s, and a diversified selection of Pokémon {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Type}}s can be helpful strategies.

* 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 use other Pokémon Shuffle play modes while a temporary save point exists. Players are forced to return to their Survival Mode save point once they restart Pokémon Shuffle or their temporary save point will be erased.
