What are the game modes in PokeroGue?

PokéRogue has 5 game modes: “Classic”, “Daily Runner”, “Endless”, “Patchwork Endless” and “Challenge”.

Classic Mode

Classic mode by default is the only mode available in PokéRogue other than Daily Run. When you start a new game you are taken to a starter select screen where you may choose any owned starters you have for use.

The maximum combined Starter Cost you can bring is 10.

There are also level caps for your Pokemon in Classic Mode. For every 10 waves completed, the level cap increases. You can bypass the level cap only by using Rare Candies.

Daily Run

Daily Run is an alternate game mode that offers a more limited challenge than Classic or Endless. It can be accessed from the main menu under “Daily Run (Beta)” and a new challenge rotates in every 24 hours. Unlike other game modes, everyone playing starts with the same challenge based on a set seed for that day.

Instead of picking starters, each run begins with a premade team of three level twenty Pokémon, each with set items, natures, abilities and movesets. The total cost of the starter team adds up to ten points, with at least one Pokémon in the 4+ value range. Duplicate starters are not generated. Credit for owning the three starter Pokémon is not added to your Dex. Additionally you start with three EXP. Alls and three Golden EXP. Charms.

Each Daily Run is composed of 50 waves, divided into five biome zones. Each 5th wave (5, 15, 25, etc.) is a trainer battle, every 10th wave is a boss Pokémon (10, 50) or Gym Leader (20, 30 and 40). All the other waves are wild Pokémon encounters which can be captured. The final boss on wave 50 in the End biome can never be caught, not even with a Master Ball. Any Pokémon caught in a Daily Run are added to your collection as normal.

Endless Mode

Endless Mode is a new game mode that is only unlocked after beating Classic Mode for the first time. Just like Classic, when starting a new game you are allowed to choose any starters you own. However, in Endless Mode the maximum starter cost is raised to 15, allowing you to start with even more powerful Pokémon.

As the name suggests, Endless Mode tries to go on forever. However, currently Endless Mode stops at wave 5850 and you get the message: “Congratulations on reaching the current end! More content is coming soon.”

Spliced Endless Mode

Spliced Endless Mode is unlocked by beating classic with a fused Pokémon in your party.

Spliced Endless Mode is largely the same as Endless Mode, with a few key differences. After you pick your starters, they will be fused with random Pokémon. Every Pokémon you fight will be fused with another Pokémon, bosses included. Unfused Pokémon have their stats halved.

Challenge Mode

Challenge mode is a alternate version of Classic mode in PokéRogue, it can be selected after defeating Classic mode for the first time.

There are currently two types of challenges implemented in the game:

• When selecting Mono Gen you are given the option to select a single generation from 1-9 and you may only use pokemon from that generation in battle during the run. (For Example: If you pick generation 1 you may only use gen 1 Pokémon).
  • Fusing a usable Pokémon with Pokémon that is outside of your chosen Generation will result in that Pokémon becoming unusable.
  • When selecting Mono Gen, the Elite Four that spawns will always be from your chosen generation.
• When selecting Mono Type, you are given the option to select 1 type from the current 18 types in game and you may only use pokemon that have that typing(For Example: If you pick mono water you may only use Pokémon that have a water typing).
