How to Master Pokerouge Endless Mode: Complete Strategy Guide
Master Pokerouge Endless Mode with our comprehensive strategy guide covering all 5 phases, farming goals, and progression tips
Understanding Endless Mode
Endless Mode is Pokerouge's ultimate farming challenge, offering unlimited floors with increasing difficulty. This mechanical yet rewarding mode provides the best opportunities for shiny hunting, legendary encounters, and rare item collection.
Key Features:
- •Unlimited floors with 10-floor phases
- •Random single/double battles each floor
- •Token system that increases difficulty every 50 floors
- •Boss encounters every 10, 50, and 250 floors
- •Best farming mode for shinies and legendaries
Endless Mode Mechanics
Basic Structure
Endless Mode follows a mechanical pattern: every 10 floors form a phase, with random single or double battles on each floor. The environment changes randomly, and there are no NPCs to interact with.
Boss Encounters
- •Every 10 floors: Small boss (can be double battled)
- •Every 50 floors: Paradox boss (can be double battled, rewards 1 Intermediate Gacha Voucher)
- •Every 250 floors: Eternatus (cannot be double battled, rewards 1 Advanced Gacha Voucher)
- •1k multiple floors: Eternatus has classic 2-phase form (with black hole but no Flamethrower)
- •Other floors: Standard 1-phase Eternatus
Token System
Every 50 floors, a token refreshes. As tokens accumulate, game difficulty gradually increases.
Thankfully, the developers removed the most annoying sleep and freeze tokens!
The Five Phases of Endless Mode
Phase 1: Stealth Development (Floors 1-300)
This phase's difficulty depends entirely on your carry Pokémon's strength. With a powerful carry like Charizard or Miraidon, you'll steamroll through. With weaker carries like Calyrex, you'll struggle more.
Strategy
Focus on stealth development. Never waste money refreshing shops unnecessarily.
Item Priority
Core items > Gold Nuggets > Perfume. Healing items as needed.
Phase 2: Formation Period (Floors 300-600)
You now have some savings and can afford to refresh shops twice per turn to hunt for key items. If you find a Locked Container and encounter red/pink quality items, try refreshing carefully.
Pro Tip
If you refresh too aggressively, you can F5 to reset (though this isn't very roguelike, it's efficient for farming mode).
Phase 3: Golden Age (Floors 600-2000)
Your key items are mostly complete, and you can enter wheelchair mode for efficient farming. Your carry Pokémon generally outclasses enemies, making this perfect for shiny hunting and gacha voucher farming.
Optimal Farming
Maintain double battles after maxing Shiny Charm (doubles shiny encounter rate).
Candy Strategy
Complete team members and start feeding candy to your carry for level advantage through 3000 floors.
Phase 4: Mutual Destruction (Floors 2000-3000)
Essentially the same as Phase 3, but enemies deal extremely high damage. Your carry can still one-shot enemies if strong enough.
Protection Strategy
Bind Sturdy to your core members. While maxed Focus Band and Revival Seeds provide some safety, Sturdy is the most reliable protection.
Phase 5: Torment Period (Floors 3000-5850)
Even with a 100k level lead, your carry may struggle to damage enemies. You'll need alternative strategies to progress.
Recommendation
If farming shinies and gacha vouchers, stop at 3000 floors and start a new run. If aiming for completion, use escape strategies after 3000 floors.
Farming Goals and Values
Shiny and Legendary Hunting
This is the primary purpose of Endless Mode. Classic Mode's 200 floors make it difficult to encounter shinies or legendaries, and rare item stacking is limited.
Why Endless Mode?
Endless Mode provides the best opportunities for shiny encounters and legendary Pokémon collection.
Gacha Voucher Farming
With Intermediate Gacha Vouchers becoming red quality, farming them becomes very efficient with proper Luck Value.
Important Mechanic
Gacha vouchers only appear in the first three shop refreshes. If not found, they won't appear no matter how much you refresh.
Candy Farming for Hidden Abilities
Essential for unlocking hidden abilities and reducing Pokémon costs. Can be farmed efficiently through double battles and Soothe Bell stacking.
Efficient Method
Use double battles with Soothe Bell stacking for maximum candy acquisition.
Egg Hatching
Once established, Endless Mode's fast floor progression makes it perfect for rapid egg hatching.
Why It's Efficient
Each floor passes quickly, making it ideal for hatching multiple eggs rapidly.
Success Metrics
First Endless Mode Run
For your first Endless Mode run with higher team costs and lower Luck Value, prioritize farming over progression.
Realistic Target
Reaching 2000-3000 floors with a suitable team is already very successful.
Success Factors
Difficulty and item acquisition are closely related to your initial Luck Value and team composition.
Quick Tips Summary
Focus on Core Items
Prioritize Locked Container and Gene Wedge above all else. These define Endless Mode's core gameplay.
Manage Gold Carefully
Don't waste gold on unnecessary shop refreshes in early phases. Save for essential items.
Maximize Shiny Hunting
Use double battles after maxing Shiny Charm for doubled shiny encounter rates.
Strategic Candy Usage
Feed candy to your carry Pokémon for level advantage, but only after completing core items.
Protect Your Carry
Bind Sturdy to your core members for maximum farming efficiency and safety.
Know When to Stop
If farming shinies and vouchers, 3000 floors is often sufficient. Don't torture yourself unnecessarily.
Mastering Endless Mode
With these strategies, you should be able to efficiently farm Endless Mode and achieve your goals. Remember that Endless Mode is primarily a farming mode - don't feel pressured to complete all 5850 floors unless you specifically want the challenge.
Remember:
The key to success is understanding your goals. Focus on farming what you need rather than trying to complete everything. With proper strategy and patience, Endless Mode will become your most valuable farming tool in Pokerouge.

This guide is absolutely perfect! I've been struggling with Endless Mode for weeks, but the 5-phase breakdown made everything click. Phase 3 (Golden Age) is exactly where I was getting stuck - now I know to focus on candy farming there.

The farming goals section is gold! I never realized how efficient Endless Mode is for shiny hunting compared to Classic Mode. The double battle strategy with Shiny Charm is game-changing.

Thank you for explaining the token system! I was wondering why the game kept getting harder. The 5-phase progression makes so much sense now. Phase 5 sounds terrifying though - 3000+ floors is insane!

The candy farming section saved my run! I was wasting candy too early. Now I wait until Candy Jar hits 20+ stacks and it's made a huge difference. Level overflow is real!

The boss encounter explanation is spot on. I was confused about the Eternatus variants, but now I understand the 1k multiple floors have the classic 2-phase form. This guide is comprehensive!
