Tips to "beat" Endless Mode in PokeRogue 

Another tip I forgot to mention in the document- mons can only do up to 10? Health bars per hit, so multi-lens really helps with those bosses. Will do a bit more testing to confirm, but that’s what I’ve noticed thus far.

Hey Callum! I was one of those fans who subbed like 8 years ago but never watched your content consistently. I’ve gotten addicted to PokeRouge and it revived my love for Pokemon. Great to see you still doing your thing and best wishes to you!

Tinkaton getting the insane respect it deserves with huge power

a tip of my own is to splice shinies together, gives you more space for more shinies you'll catch along the way and actually sums up their luck stat (not sure if they can add up to more than a luck stat of 3)

Currently on floor 328 rn and just can confidently say is a billion times more fun than classic i enjoy the unpredictability

Some extra REAL ADVICE: 1. Changing the Pokémon used in a fight changes the rarities of items available (F5 is your friend) 2. Changing whether or not your Pokémon have full HP at battle end or non-full HP changes your locked reroll string (fished out a couple shiny charms save scumming like that) (3. You can reroll a billion pokébucks, but if you refresh you get it all back. This makes finding core items a lot more grindy but a lot more possible, too)

With the endless spliced, your starters are spliced with random Pokemon. Starting with a shiny starter actually splices another shiny with it, making all of those common shinies actually have 2 luck (would test with higher rarity if I could but don’t have any). I started with S luck with 5 random shinies, and I got lucky with 2 of them being viable and surprisingly synergistic. A Gastly-Croagunk with frost breath egg move (fits well with shiny gengar’s colors, and the vacuum wave animation while it’s gigantimaxed makes me laugh) and dry skin. A g-Yamask-Fidough with fire claw that later got well baked body. Later that run randomly got a nacli-cufant so salt cure, iron defense and recover go brrr. Also a Staraptor-shedinja with a grip claw, multi lens, thief and dual wingbeat that is just fun. Fun fact, legends that spawn are spliced with other legends (e.g. Latios-Zygarde). I think spliced is a way to have fun with broken combinations and a chance to experience what S luck can get you (got me my first ever master ball for the Latios)

Im just astounded how much this game has blown up! i remember just seeing only a couple hundred people online, and last i checked today, i saw 20k+ online!! Seriously, the dev team did an excellent job for making a roguelike x pokemon game. I have countless hrs on emerald rogue as it is so this was right up my alley! Not a perfect game, still some things that need tweaking mechanically but i'm patient and excited to see this game grow!

My first endless with Hoopa's magician and kartana crazy floor sweeping ( and later some legendaries caught along) made it to the floor 650 it was amazing. Hoopa with scope lens item that makes your attacks hit multiple times ( thus activating magician multiple times) was just crazy.

yeah, magician hoopa unbound kinda nuts too, steal an item basically every hit, you just gotta get the prison bottle

Im on beyond 2500 floor by stacking everything on skeledirge. Multilens + Torch song + maxed out carbos stack kills mostly everything. And if not kings rock usually helps me to avoid taking damage. An important tip for etrenatus is to set up 5 direhits before the encounter.

This videos a really good introduction and the document a great guide. In my experience in 2500+ so far soakcure, leech seed, metal burst, nightshade/seismic toss with weather and misty terrain support seems to be standard and have seen people have success just with that and a runaway mon but most runs shiny hunting likely wont need to worry about getting to this point.

I recently reached floor 5850 which is the technical limit for endless (game doesn't progress further due to maxing out tokens). My final team was: Calyrex-Shadow + Magnezone fusion: Sturdy; Night Shade, Seismic Toss, Protect, Astral Barrage (for flinching only)/mirror coat (for eternatus fight). They were about lvl 140k, one shotting most regular mons, I got pretty lucky with Candy Jars, maxing them out before floor 2000. Garganacl + Sudowoodo fusion: Sturdy; Soak, Leech Seed, Protect, Salt Cure: Slow boss killer Linoone + Magnezone fusion: Sturdy; Super Fang, Fake Out, Mud Slap, Roar: Doubles partner. If there was a mon I wanted to catch in a double battle instead of running from it I'd do Astral Barrage from Calyzone causing double flinch + Roar --> Master Ball Rapidash for run away Alakazam + Indeedee: Psychic Surge; Disable, Skill Swap, Rain Dance, Protect, Here to protect Calyzone from priority, multihit moves and Mold breaker Kyogre for weather control (removing hail which will kill you upon being brought down to sturdy)

I have an endless run currently that is at around floor 2,000 and one strategy that I can definitely recommend is having a very strong pokemon who can do great damage to eternatus (who as stated, is the biggest threat of your run), preferably with a form change to reach even higher stats (think mega latios, mewtwo, alakazam, metagross etc), and completely ignoring the level cap mechanic through strong arming a bunch of rare candies on said pokemon. With soul dews, nature changing mints, multi lenses and a bunch of rare candies, you can have a pokemon that is completely minmaxxed for damage and who can very realistically stay about twice the level of whatever the cap is on the floor you're at. I recommend minmaxing for damage because enemeis will eventually become just so strong that even an unstab quick attack can do 100k or more damage to your pokemon (yes, even the one that is twice the opposing mon's level), and being honest, at a certain point you simply have to rely on sturdy, focus sash, etc to survive hits.

Floor 1300+ here. The Multi-lens is still very useful in another way, as I discovered for myself the other night. With Multi-lens and Grip Claw items, Covet on Tinkaton turns the eternatus fights into a resource farm for Golden Eggs, Dragon Fangs, and all the berries. I've gone through 2 Eternatus fights using this strategy, ncluding the floor 1000 boss, of course aided by Salt Cure Garganacl, and I've come out of it with almost 40 Dragon Fangs, which is fantastic for my current main carry: Raging Bolt, with Flamethrower as an egg move, Dragon Pulse, Rising Volt/Thunderbolt, and Thunderclap. This moveset has a counter or answer for just about every Paradox Pokemon boss floor I've encountered, with at least one move being neutral to all the Pokemon, and priority Thunderclap for the very dangerous, but frail, Fairy types Iron Valiant and Fluttermane, which normally give Dragon type carries a ton of frouble. I've also been using Crobat with Haze. In the early game, it can stop you from getting swept just from base speed alone, and in the mid game, Focus Bands and/or Reviver Seed plus Haze can save the day just as well. I will admit though, part of the reason I found this niche for Crobat was that it's my one and only red variant shiny.

Keldeo has been very very nice for me as a sweeper with mixed bursed options throughout the early-mid game, egg moves are def a must, but either way you're left with options for a special set with secret sword/work up/hydro(surf)/tbolt or a phys set w/ swords dance/sacred sword/aqua jet/waterfall(TM slot)

i hatched an epic shiny Nymble yesterday 🤩 and it gave me 40 candies so i unlocked technician straight away it’s sooooo good

a few days ago I really got invested into pokerogue and your vids have been really helpful so far! I also got a kartana with mighty kleave from my 2nd epic egg which helped me a lot until eternatus appeared on floor 250 lol

needed this so badly thank you!

Im way past floor 1000 and one of my must haves is a pokemon exclusive for eternatus. Just for reference you can make any moveset. If you have a pokemon with horrible stats and amazing moveset. You can fuse it change moves around and then unfuse to keep amazing moves into a great stat pokemon. Then you can even fuse it with a legendary for a beautiful crafted pokemon. I have my salty bird i love

Aside from the obvious tips, grass types are great early on. If you don't have a map, you'll tend to cycle through water biomes. There's a lot of water-type pokemon and a decent number of water/ground or water/rock pokemon. Clicking Giga Drain or Horn Leech heals you up so you don't have to buy potions and they usually OHKO. For the same reason, moves like Draining Kiss or Oblivion Wing as an egg move are great. I have a Linoone with Pickup which has NEVER left its pokeball. The amount of berries, lucky eggs, type-boosting items you'll farm in the first few hundred waves is very worthwhile Tinkaton has good defensive typing in general. Sending it out on a pokemon that gets walled and clicking Covet is also a decent way to get items

Yo Callum! I used to watch you a lot back in the day, I actually won a free shirt from you in your 50-100k Sub Giveaway. Dope to see you’re doing well, I’ve been addicted to this game. I actually pulled Kartana super early on into playing this game and won my first run with it. I’ll have to try out Endless with it.

I've had tons of fun playing endless spiced because it starts me with double shiny luck at the beginning so when you don't have a lot of candies to reduce cost on starters it's a great starting off point for shiny hunting.

Kyogre, if you can get it, is a massive carry in endless. Primal Kyogre with Water Spout and a few mystical waters can sweep pretty much everything and even 1v1 the first 3 Eternatus fights with a not very effective move. Highly recommend it, especially if you get any of its egg moves like Hurricane

this is great advice man. i just got to floor 1000 2 days ago for the first time and did not prepare myself by removing my items from my tinkaton and now i had to start a new run as eternatus with black hole is just invincible when you have a max stack of every item on your tinkaton 🤦🏽

Been using regieleki fusion. Nearing 2500, but things have slown done considerably. Should I keep jolly, or swap for adamant? Realistacilly, I can't imagine most ordinary things outspeeding me even without jolly cuz of max carbos and 145 base speed.

I've had alot of success this mon and wanted to put it forward as potentially one of the best picks: marshadow. Marshadow with technician boosted circle throw is godlike, and especially later game, once you stack multi lenses and kings rocks? You're critting past stat buffs on bosses with large HP bars, hitting multiple times over, and just dealing really good damage: I use shadow punch for technician boosted coverage, and I actually got bite and bulldoze from fusing with another mon! Bite 4 times over with kings rocks almost always flinches while being technician boosted, and bulldoze is also boosted and that hitting 4 times is amazing speed control to whatever survives it. Before bite and bulldoze I used two of the three elemental punches, which while not technician boosted, go well with shadow punch and the iron fist passive. I realize any mon can use bite with 3 kings rocks and 4 lenses, but the value is in circle throw crits that are technician boosted :)

A fusion I wanted to mention that was kind of a happy accident for me was Magaerna and daschbun (forgive me if I spelled these wrong). Giving magaerna well baked body meant no fire weakness so if they do ever change eternatus to have flamethrower, it will never hit you

A fun strat I do is fusing a sturdy mon on my kartana since it's relatively frail I always enter sturdy ranges and in doing so i get a ominboost from all the berries only issue is that it's hard to work with in double battles and depending on your fused mon weather effects could be an issue

A at over 2k wave so here my other tip If u use metal burst, u want to also use misty terrain cuz the foe have a high chance of cc u later on and u cant atk and give a chance to heal back to full Misty terrain let u block status so u can atk freely So ether have a mon with misty surse or prankster with move that set it up

I'm so happy you've said Kartana is the best to sweep with!!! Cause my heart felt that way too going into Endless for the first time, and I really LOVE Kartana too because of Beast Boost! I'm going to keep using Kartana now that you've said that! And of course any Pokerus pokemon!

The way i made it to floor 2000 is by running mega beedrill, and eventually splicing it with Koraidon. I ran Pin Missile, Scale Shot, Stomping Tantrum for the case i get full para'd or slept, and protect for eternabeam. You can spam out mons with 8-20 hits, each one having a chance to steal items and flinch. Its insane from floors 1000-2000

Insane doc and greay video. Was thinking this was becoming so tough (wave ≈2570) to be able to muscle threw the opposing Pokemon. Now I understand the techs, didnt know about the run away stuff and learned really late about thicc metal burst user. Guess it's time for a new run !

I also started Endless yesterday with the Pokerus Paras :D I have Luck 2 Zubat and Luck 3 Nymble which are both great as well. With Adamant Kartana i'm just slicing through waves. Always leave 1 pokemon slot free so it allows to catch for pokemon with rare items and then transfer them afterwards. I now have 31 lucky eggs and 6 golden eggs while Kartana also has 6 miracle seeds, 3 black belts, 4 soul dews, 2 leftovers, kings rock, shell bell and maxed out berries. Wave 541 now and no end in sight.

Cloyster with shell link and multi lens is insane as well hard to start out but great later on

hii, discovered pokerogue here so figured I'd ask here lol passives work alongside abilities right? just asking if technician works with normalize, just got it for meowth and im not really sure how those two synergize with each other thanks in advance!

Why was shiny Regice black when it’s only the first rarity shiny? I thought the normal gold shinies all had their regular shiny palettes?

Hey Call! Is there any chance you can make an updated video with the new passive changes, and any other changes that have occurred?

I've had my endless run for about a week now and haven't seen Recovery tokens on enemy pokemon, approaching round 2000. Is that a newer update I'll see in a new run or an old that ended before I started my run?

Hoopa with magician is OP, I maxed out all items infinitely and currently at 2000+ stage (I also have Zacian and 4 shiny spliced for support)

I hatched a rare shiny Yveltal and use it in all of my endless runs now. Gets soul heart as a passive, snarl and roost for early game double battles and healing. For mid-late game it just destroys things with oblivion wing for healing and dark pulse + kings rock/multi lens for flinch spam.

Got into pokerogue after seeing all the videos and had a cracked endless run going but lost to a virizion because I forgot about justified. Tough to start again but excited to start it up again

Quaqaval with Moxie is amazing does a lot of work for me and I am currently somewhere near wave 500s and I have a lot of good items on it like the grip claw, golden punhc, baton pass, and a few others helping it steal more items and giving me money each time it kills.

i got to like 810 with hoopa-u and the rest of my team shiny for item luck (magician kinda nutty in this mode) but i think my hoopa had 2 multi-lenses and 3 kings rocks with dark pulse spam for almost perma flinching enemies but i've been trying other mons since, kartana is pretty fun i think i tried him after seeing you talk about it :]

I've been having problems keeping up with the level cap as my Pokemon seem to level up slowly. Other than candies, how do you increase the rate of leveling. Also, one of my Pokemon will suddenly shoot up over a dozen levels.

My ace at the moment is Hawlucha/M-Scizor Max stack of Grip Claws, Kings Rock, and Multi Lens means I can melt Pokémon with 8 hits of Dual Wingbeat and have them flinch if they survive Thanks for all of the content and being such a great part of the community :^)

I found out that manaphy has quiver dance and tail glow as egg move so "baton" item is broken with it . If you have a special attacking team you can pass those buffs around . When I beat the classic mode I had manaphy, klefki, gardevior, magnezone , hariyama, furfuro. For mega ray ->> buffed up magnezone , for normal eternatus --> klefki, for Emax eternatus--> pass your baton to gardevior with psychic and two shot it.🎉🎉🎉🎉

MORE CONTENT! Love this! I will click every video!

this video saved my endless run cus i was at floor 2000 and didnt have any sturdy mons and now at floor 3000 my two sturdy mons are the only things keeping my run going

Unnerve is MASSIVE if you can get it. A shiny Corviknight is my favorite carry Pokémon in endless. I normally run that and garganacl + tinkaton or Mawile for eternatus and I’m pretty easily getting into the 1200+ range.

When do you get the rusty sword? I'm assuming it's just a random drop but I've not seen it once

1:25 how do you get candy with spliced pokemons? like is it just the main pokemon or do both get it? tldr: i barely played that mode

Had a run that has taken me to over 750 so far mainly because fusing skeledirge with spectrier + switching in and out with a random fairy type I caught before 750

Right now I have 3 Gmax pokemon (Corvanight, Toxicity and Charizard) and I've been lucky getting a lot of silk scarfs (7 so far) from pick up and rerolls. Boomburst Gmax toxtricity is so busted, not even resisted types couldn't survive it.

I had Pokémon with pickup but it didn’t let me transfer, can you not transfer on endless?

i just used mega mewtwo to sweep everything, although at over wave 1500 he's starting to struggle a bit, like he's starting to need 2 hits instead of 1.

Im @ 4100 currently and im using a mon with sturdy, salt cure, seismic toss, and night shade. Taken me most of the way without much effort

hey man i dont know if you are going to respond to this msg, but when i dna splice tinkaton and kartana what moves should i have on them?

This posted after i started my main endless run rn 😭

My goat right now is amnesia yawn mud slap thief quagsire with max grip claws and multi lens. You get all the eggs and boosting items, plus you don't need a healing move because infinite sitrus and enigma berries. This combined with someone to lower their stats before hand who isn't weak to grass (noble roar kommo-o or toxtricity) and ur golden

Amazing info! Got from floor 0 to 800 in the same day

I did my third classic run today and I was flabbergasted at the fact that the Eternatus at the end was a shiny. It was in Classic! Sadly I was nowhere near finishing the dex, so I couldn't use the masterball I got on him :/. BTW: He had Black hole. It seems that when he's shiny he has it, even in Classic.

I'd actually say the MAIN thing you get from endless isn't the eggs every 50 floors, it's that you will, at some point, have 4 shiny charms and 4 ability charms, capping your shiny and HA chances. On top of that, you run into a LOT of legendaries in 1k+ endless. I'm on floor 2500ish of my first endless run, and I've gotten almost 100 shinies and a few dozen legendaries in the one run so far, compared to the 0 of each I've gotten from classic runs.

Burmy needs to be female and steel (pink one). If you have passive on it, youve got a sturdy steel type that gets metal burst and protect by level up. It can fuse with another mon like tapu fini for misty surge. That'll carry you the entire run.

There is 1 more tips that people should know. Using rare candy after reaching the level limit actually increase your level. Hence, if u get any candy jar. Take it. Candy jar increase your rare candy level up by 1. I got around 60 and it give me that much for every rare candy. It makes your run easier if your tink and legend are higher level than the 50th bosses.

thank you bossman, this information is valuable

I'm at floor 2300 at the moment, been bulldozing through normal floors with a primal groudon - mega mawile fusion with maxed vitamins, 99 soft sand and level 78000 from spamming rare candies at nearly every chance to it. It might be too late for me to get a sturdy pokemon, I have a steel/fairy with well-baked body for eternatus at least to steal all the items and spam accuracy/defense drops. I might see if i can push through to 3000, unless the damage falls off that fast.

Shedninja wonder guard seems tempting to bring

What I'm getting at is that you need shinies for a good endless run but you are playing endless to farm shinies? Are their tips if you only have 1 or 2 shinies though?

Got a venasaur spliced with blastoise with passive unlocked mega & dynamax running leedh seed, blizzard, giga drain, bouncy bubble, its an absolute monster and can tank hits from eternarus pretty well, and melts it with blizzard. Then got mega latios as backup, with 14 luck, mowing through endless no problem. Venasaur is an absolute goat, that thing carried me hard through my first classic clear

when I was trying my endless run, for some reason all my Pokemon were not getting enough exp even after having exp balance. Only my one Pokemon was getting rather high amount of experience despite of me having exp balance(2) with me. It was strange bcz in classical run, having exp balance(2) ensure that my whole team stays the same level. Can anyone explain it to me why exp was not getting distributed??

Just had an insane run with Bolt Beak Zekrom. Fused it with a Landorous T and it was bulky and did insane damage at the same time. Sadly, I couldn’t beat floor 1000 as I did not have a fairy steel type. But other than that it was a great run 👍

Now that tink isnt going to have huge power will you make any changes?

Wouldnt calyrex with the ghost horse be pretty good ? Special version off moxie + not allowing the enemy to eat berries sounds rly good. And with its passive to buff its own berries it gets even better

i always put the random type boosting (mystic water) items on my main, so it reduces the chances of things i need getting stolen

I just made it to floor 500, with a semi sun team around Groudon. It’s fun but the tokens enemies get are so annoying. I’ve been having dumb luck since 4/6 members can Mega evolve but I’ve yet to find a stone

I just beat eternatus so this rly helped

Whats ur opinion about manaphy, rn im passing endless mode only with him its too much op xD

I have a common tier shiny smoliv, but it’s brown instead of the normal shiny and was wondering if anyone knew why?

@HoodlumCallum or anyone can someone recommend how to better my frame rate? I already did hardware acceleration but idk what else to do.

I'm on the round 3000 endless rn and still have 2 slots on my team so I'm still thinking about what to use.

I have Kartana and Xerneas in my endless run and I am WAITING to get the item to fuse them, almost at level 1000 and havent got it yet

Its wild to me, you didnt mention lucky egg stealing, i feel like its what made early endless alot easier for me, just using my pickup linoone as a covet/thief stealer and try to get the lucky eggs off the enemy pokemon helped me so much, if i get unlucky i catch the pokemon im facing, but that does reguire having 1 spot in your party,

holy moly dude i know that guy akolc

Klefki Zacian is my endless core with Zacian being the carry from 1-749 and if it faints foul play klefki with magician and multi lens solos

During the shint event ive maanaged to get only 2 shiny with 2 shiny charm. One of which was a rare shony caught before getting the first charm

I tried fusing Kartana and Tinkaton and it didn't go great. It kept beast boosting its defense and did no damage and I lost the run 😢

i believe recovery tokens are random/or past 2k im on 1894 with none yet ive made it to end already though hope this helps

Question what are some alternatives for kartana

I was so lucky to hatch kartana as my first ever epic egg huh? And it had timid nature, awful but it pull through classic mode and is doing great on endless so far

I beat my first run yesterday and so I tried like 3 endless runs today and I could not get past floor 30 or so because of the insane Level disadvantage I had. I was training strictly one pokemon and he was down 2 levels versus wild mons and the rest was behind 10-15 levels so they were just dead weight at that point. Any time I ran into an unfavorable encounter or a decently strong double battle I would wipe, hope this video can help me get started on a good run. Also i am struggling with some of the daily runs because of the mediocre or even bad mons I get and I don't feel it is worth trying over and over because it just is not fun for me unless I find a pokemon I want to spam catch for candies within the first 20 rounds.

So far my only epic shiny is a normal zigzagoon 😅 but on my current endless run I have max luck from having all my Pokemon be fused and shiny except one which just isn't fused. SSS luck goes crazy

Its nice to know that floor 50 is the hardest part. Considering that's the furthest I've ever gotten lol

Ive noticed on my runs that togedemaru is really really good

Can someone help me? I cannot join Pokerogue on Discord and I dont have a clue of Events and news. Is there anything right now? Why cant I join the DC

Since starting an endless run almost a week ago, I have only gotten 1 shiny. A shiny snorunt from an egg. Have not gotten lock capsule or a single shiny charm, currently on floor 777

Me literally finding this video a couple weeks from now.

Hey im struggling with rounds 20-25 any tips?

Got destroyed ob my first endless run. Was around level 35 at floor 60 and got wrecked by a level 50 goldengho. Feels bad lol

Hey Callum, it turns out that there is an end to endless because the dev simply made the final room at like round 6k because he never thought anyone would make it to that point… until someone did I’m just now seeing this was mentioned
