Survival Mode: Difference between revisions

'''Survival Mode''' is a [[Pokémon Shuffle]] area that challenges players to make as much progress into the challenge without being able to alter their initial selection of {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}}.

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.

* Only the "Experience Points x1.5", "Mega Start", and occasionally "Disruption Delay" {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Items}} are available for purchase before Survival Mode stages.

* Players start with 5 moves in Stage 1. All subsequent stages begin by adding 5 additional moves to the number of remaining moves left over from the previous stage. The minimum number of moves is always 5. Player performance alone determines the maximum number of moves.

* Stage 1 does not start with any {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Disruptions}} or randomly select from Pokémon that causes {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Disruptions}}. After Stage 1, randomly selected Survival Mode stages may or may not include starting Disruptions, Pokémon causing Disruptions, and {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|3-Pokémon Stages}}.

* Special fixed rewards are awarded every few stages. The initial set of rewards are provided only once after players successfully pass certain stages. Beginning at Stage 10, players will receive the fixed reward every time they successfully pass certain stages.

* 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.
