Stages in Survival Mode reuse the first 300 {{DL|Stage (Shuffle)|Main stage}}. 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|Stage (Shuffle)|Main stage}}.

* Players start with 5 moves in Stage 1. All subsequent stages begin by adding 5 additional moves, called "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. | * Players start with 5 moves in Stage 1.

* Special rewards are awarded after completing a fixed number of stages during a single challenge (see the [[#Rewards|Rewards table]] to the right). An initial set of rewards are provided the first time players defeat a fixed number of Survival Mode stages. Players receive a slightly less attractive set of rewards when they repeat the challenge. It is not necessary to achieve the initial set of rewards during the same challenge, as they are awarded the first time players progress far enough into any Survival Mode challenge to earn a reward. | * Special rewards are awarded after completing a fixed number of stages during a single challenge (see the [[#Rewards|Rewards table]] to the right).

* Survival Mode 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. | * Survival Mode also offers the ability for players to "Take a Break" between each stage.
