The Poké Circuit is the survival mode of Pokémon Shuffle. Added with update 1.3.1 on March 23, 2016, it chains battles together without a break, with a single team, and rewards the players who go the furthest. Here are its rules and the details of its sixty stages.

Mega Rayquaza waits at the sixtieth and final stage.

The rules

  • One team for the whole run: you choose it at the start and cannot change it afterward.
  • Moves that carry over: each victory gives a few extra moves for the next battle; a badly played battle leaves you with fewer moves for the following one.
  • Opponents drawn from the normal stages, some fixed, others picked at random from a series of stages.
  • Rewards every ten Pokémon defeated, more generous for the first win than for later ones.

In its first version, described by Serebii, the mode cost three hearts, had fifty stages and opened after Stage 150. The current version, introduced by update 1.4.18, has sixty.

The rewards

The milestones at stages 10, 20, 30… up to 60 give experience and level items. The most generous is the last one: ten Raise Max Levels on the first win against Mega Rayquaza. Deoxys (stage 50) gives five and Rayquaza (stage 55) gives a Hyper Skill Booster.

Tips

  • Take a versatile team, with a Mega Pokémon that is effective against several types: you will face Pokémon of many different types.
  • Win quickly: every move you save counts for the following battles.
  • Prefer Pokémon with an offensive skill at max level, with upgraded skills.
