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.

Stages in Survival Mode reuse the first 300 {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Stages|Main Stages}}. In Survival Mode's 60 stages, players are presented with a repeating sequence that includes a short series of randomly selected Pokémon from a Main Stage area or set of areas and then a fixed battle against a particularly challenging Pokémon, often a {{DL|Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved}} Pokémon. The further players progress into the Survival Mode challenge, the more likely they will face Pokémon from further along the Main Stage sequence, following a stage progression that loosely reflects the Main Stage sequence. Starting at Stage 11, a third step in the Survival Mode sequence is added immediately following the challenging fixed battle with a weaker, less challenging Pokémon fix battle for early in the Main Stage sequence. This provides a brief break from what otherwise are increasingly more difficult Pokémon challenges. | Stages in Survival Mode reuse the first 300 {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Stages|Main Stages}}.
