The Ultimate PokeRogue Endless Mode GUIDE!

[@Knetterkoekje]

IMPORTANT! Some mistakes I made: Leech Seed deals double damage to water types. I meant to say Salt Cure. Another mistake I made was that paradox pokemons CAN BE FUSIONS! (i had just never seen one). I had multiple people report to me that the mini-black hole does not steal vitamins for them (could have been a bug in my run). Vitamins CAN NOT be stolen with the Mini-Black hole. This must have been a bug I encountered in my own run. Another thing I would like to clarify is that there are 13 steel types in the game that can learn metal burst, not all steel types can learn the move and aiming to be way higher level than your opponent with your steel burst pokémon is quality of life but not absolutely necessary. Stat changes also DO NOT affect metal burst, you deal more damage with each hit as you chip away at the boss bars (see it as removing their ''shield''). Wonder Guard can also be fantastic and it is utilized in the world record endless runs. One last tip: For rerolling: not having a damaged Mon removes healing items from the pool, increasing your odds of getting something useful! Good luck on your PokeRogue adventures!

1 edit if lucky smeargle can also learn salt cure as an egg move i have smeargle with salt cure and is shiny making him easy pick and later fusing with something good there might be others like smeargle since even wiglett can learn surging strike, like how does he hit man thats illegal

[@Knetterkoekje]

@@saranshbhikhta1404 Cool! I didn't know smeargle had access to Salt Cure. Thanks for letting us know! :)

[@LoudWaffle]

I think vitamins don’t actually count as held items, that’s why mini black hole doesn’t effect them and I don’t think theif or transfer work and so on. The game just shows them as items so you can keep track of the amount of each on a pokemon, because there is a cap

[@N_Human]

@@Knetterkoekje my shiny shuckle knows Salt Cure egg move as well!

[@ChipHazard316]

Im confused on which part was supposed to be salt cure and not leech seed?

[@Knetterkoekje]

Thank you for the kind words friend!

[@JustPixelNoIDontWantAnyNumbers]

Zigzagoon gets both Pick Up as an ability and Run Away as a passive, making it basically mandatory. Its also really easy to get the passive and cost down due to how many you can catch early on in your runs

[@Knetterkoekje]

Yup, hence all of us pokerogue veterans recommend the good boy ^_^ Zigzagoon for LIFE!

[@Apocalyse011]

With your recommendation for a carry in mind, I believe it’s important to note that Aggron could be very good as a starter. It gets Metal Burst and Protect as level up moves, and Salt Cure as an egg move and Sturdy as an ability. It’s pretty much your recommended carry rolled into one, with the only downside being lower base HP resulting in weaker Metal Bursts.

[@Knetterkoekje]

Spot on! You are absolutely correct. There is simply too much information that its really difficult to cover it all. Expect an update to the guide once the game is older, and I will make a new guide when they overhaul endless mode to point out all the things that are no longer relevant in this guide video. Thank you for your feedback!

[@baldability]

[@andreash9499]

What would be a step up from Aggron?

[@ChipHazard316]

Thats awesome cuz i got an aron with salt cure. Might bring em on my next run!

[@EpicWorldStories]

Just fuse Aggron as second into heiteira and you have a solid Pokémon

Quote from pokerogue wiki "Maximum 4 instances, Wild Shiny odds are 1/2048 (0.048%) by default. First Shiny Charm increases the odds by a factor of 8 to 1/256 (0.39%), additional Shiny Charms increase the odds by a factor of 2 (1/128, 1/64, 1/32). "

[@starlightpastel279]

Thanks to this video i now have an endless run with a *literally* immortal overcoat sturdy flying type shedinja 1 floor away from the token game crash waiting for the patch that fixes the crash to progress. Also in case it wasn't clear shedinja is immortal because sturdy and 1hp blocks all damage except struggle, hazards, weather and status effects, overcoat blocks weather, flying type blocks hazards, stacking lum and leppa berries and berry pouches + a move like recycle makes you eventually immune to status effects and never run out of PP, the only theoretically possible way to die now is a G-Max hazard move which are not available to any enemies in this game so yes my shedinja is literally actually 100% immortal unless the update significantly changes how a lot of this stuff functions. If you wanna do this yourself shedinja with overcoat passive + sturdy skarmory PS: anyone reading this should know this is a very fun strategy but its not practical at all you are far better off just listening to the video more closely rather than intentionally using an awful pokemon as your carry in hopes of stumbling upon an extremely rare item very early in the run just to get a broken combo, if you do manage to get it you have basically just won but your time would be better served just playing normally

[@Knetterkoekje]

This is some amazing tech. Do you happen to know if you get the passive on a mon if you unlock it and then catch it in the wild :o? I am planning on making a part two for the Endless Guide with all the new information and things I've learned. I did not consider overcoat as a passive, thats really smart! Could you provide us with some footage of your mon in action?

Currently going through my first endless run with a just generic Kartana as my carry (currently floor 1030). But your tips has helped me almost build a pivot carry in a shiny garganacl + archaludon which I both found during the run. Hope I can build it before things goes too much worse. Also for anyone who want an easy time through the early game (from my experience), Kartana can just do it basically by itself all the way to the first eternatus where if you have a fairy type, you can just keep switching back and forth to drain all the eterna beam PP which is what I did. You dont need setup moves or anything for Kartana to work, just attacking moves. Mine is just running Sacred sword, Leaf blade, Aerial Ace and Razor leaf but razor leaf can we swapped for the dark type blade depending on where you are in the run. I dont even have its passive or any egg moves for it.

[@Knetterkoekje]

Kartana is incredible, so yeah good pick on taking that as your first carry ^_^. Thanks and I am happy to hear about your success. Much luck and fun for the next time you play PokeRogue :)

[@Blue-om9xn]

Great guide! I would also super recommend a mom with honey gather early game as it’s a consistent money source that scales up with each floor. Also, IV scanner saves time for me because catching Pokémon takes forever

[@zinister7579]

My carry for ny first classic run win was my duo of fuecoco and a terrakion. They blitzed through early game and by the end my team was. Skeledirge,Terrakion/Excadrill/Jumpluff/Vikavolt/Florges.

Thank you, this is really helpful ^^ I started my second endless run yesterday and got really lucky, got a dna splicers on floor 4 so I fused my kartana with my tinkaton. Since Ethernatus doesn't have flamethrower yet, the steel/fairy typing is amazing and with beast boost I one shot almost everything. However I forgot to bring a run away mon and some useful moves you mentioned. In my next run I will be much more prepared thanks to you!

I think Zacian + togedemaru is the best fusion I’ve seen. It keeps attack and speed relatively high, is still fairy steel, gains fell stinger, and unnerve/sturdy, basically i think sturdy > beast boost

30:20 You don't need an innate flinch chance, as it does not stack with King's Rock. A multi target or even a multi hit move will serve you much better.

Miraidon is a beas too and its actually less cheesy and can get you everywhere aswell. Its ability creates a Electric Field which boosts your sp ang combine this with its passive quark drive and a modest nature and you get a shit ton of Sp ang combine this even further with soul dews and vitamins and this mon is a nuclear powerhouse. to take this even further the move : Rising Voltage (base power 70) gets its power doubled if an electric field is present to 140 combine this with electric fields effect of boosting electric type moves by 50% you get an Electric type move with a Power of 210 and 100 accruacy and to top it off you can stack magnets that each time boosts your power by 20%. You can imagine how it goes everything that isnt a ground type even if its 4x times not effective gets one shot. If you get multi hit lens you can even bypass sturdy. Miraidon also gets Discharge which takes care of pesky double battles. Literally oneshot max eternatus with rising voltage.

[@beastalchemist0825]

This is the best guide I could ask for, only one question you suggested multiple strategies, flinch, salt cure, leech seed, metal burst ect. Do I prioritize having all these mons throughout my run or shines to increase my luck. Ideally I could eventually get a red shiny duraladon and garganacle but until then do I sacrifice some of these strategies or the shiny luck? And do I need a mon per strategy or can one of them solely carry?

[@Knetterkoekje]

You kinda want 2 carries, but a single metal burster can also get you very far. I rarely use my leech seed setter even at wave 7k+ now, however I do have to use it from time to time.

I need some advice- I got to wave 1000 and get demolished. I have a mega mawhile with 6,500 attack so it should be 13,000 attack with Huge Power. I’m able to set up a shell smash and baton pass from my cloyster to mawhile, yet a play rough barely does any damage. Blackhole ends up stealing my leftovers and I get in a stalemate because the amount of damage is completely negated. All I can think of is next time transferring my leftovers to a pokemon I won’t use before the battle. Thoughts? Also, am I missing some mechanic? Because my mawhile should have 26,000 attack after shell smash, and I can only tickle eternatus.

The pokemons can also have stacked up berries, max vitamins and all sorts of stackable items on top of the tokens, which make for some really tough opponents. At wave 1000 any well invested carry should work tho, so try to focus more on making your main mon strong in the next run :)

Well persian is super nice due to payday, but having a scizor on your team as a carry can def work too!

[@eclipsos8187]

Reccomendation use pokerogue dex instead of bulbapedia

[@Knetterkoekje]

Absolutely agree and I am advicing to use, and using the roguedex website myself all the time now, at the time of this video that site did not exist yet :)

[@redeyber]

So what is more important putting shinies on your team or putting good pokemon?

[@rutger2930]

One very good starter and then only shinies. You want to maximize that pokemon. Since you don’t get enough exp to level up the whole team

[@Knetterkoekje]

They are both important and its even better if you can pick a good pokemon that is also shiny. But I would say bringing shinies will probably help you more as so many different pokemon can serve as a carry/sweeper. Good luck with your runs!

Hi, I have both Zacian and Kartana, but their IVs suck. I've gotten Zacian to wave 1500 but its only got an attack IV of 9, so protein stacking finished quick for him. Now I'm really feeling the pressure of not being able to stack more vitamins and even my Charizard Y deals more damage now. Should I prioritise spread move Pokemons over Zacian and Kartana? For example Zygarde with Thousand Arrows, or Volcarona with Matcha Gotcha (egg move). Thanks :)

[@Knetterkoekje]

Spread move pokémons are for sure your best friend as a first carry in endless mode. Unless you're setting up different strategies that can come online earlier such as conversion shedinja. I am working on a part two / expansion of this guide. Stay tuned for that :) If you have more questions you can always join our Discord sever.

@Knetterkoekje how are your pokemons on max berries in your endgame i dont see a pokemon with pickup or am i blind?

[@Knetterkoekje]

You are far from blind, they are healing back to HP. Its 3x Berry Pouch (75% chance to not consume a berry) + Mini black hole + Max Grip Claw that constantly steals berries if I do use one up that make for a (near) infinite amount of berries to be consumed :D

[@Mrempoleon100]

Im using an epic shiny Azelf fused with Garganacl for the metal brust strategy (and i got metal burst from a steel wormadam) And is working so well..just got past wave 3000 Only thing now is that with the nerf on numbers of berries held you have to check here and there is you have enough sitrus/lum/enigma berry , especially before facing the paradox/eternatus, you want to be ready And also I caught a shiny ribombee with honey gather on wave 2300+ and damn....lot of money from that so that i dont have to worry about picking relic gold anymore

[@Knetterkoekje]

Glad to hear its going so well for you! Yeah its more important to check your carries berries every time you get close to a bossfight now. Used to be important to check for reviver seeds, but now you gotta keep track of berries as well. I don't think its too bad personally :)

How do you avoid eternatus stealing your healing items?

I don't if it happens it happens and you have to deal with it or restart if you can't deal with it :( but yeah you can switch your healing item to a mon that youll use last in the eta fight for example.

I have a question, currently I'm in wave 2000 and my carry is primal groudon. Do you think it's worth to use seismic toss+night shade on it or should I just ditch my groudon?

[@Knetterkoekje]

No not worth it, you want to have a metal burster or shedinja at this point of endless. Very few carries can actually get to 3k - 3.5k which is the absolute limit for a non lategame strategy.

At the start of the game I’ve got lucky and got a legendary egg Ho-Oh came out of it and it’s so bad, it learns like 5 fire type moves and many of them only have 5 pp. Also it learns them like the first level 45 and so on and after two failed runs in classic I haven’t used it. Should I use it for endless or should I just take good mons that aren’t legendary?

[@Knetterkoekje]

Ho-Oh is kind of underwhelming, probably better to take a different carry.

[@cesarvazquez961]

hey! pyukumuku also gets salt cure as an egg move, and it gets access to soak aswell. is that viable instead of garganacl?

[@Knetterkoekje]

For sure! As mentioned in the guide you can use your own puzzle pieces as long as the fit within the realms of the strategy discussed in the guide video. I think this is an excellent choice, just try to fuse it with a pokemon that has sturdy or wonderguard and you should be golden :)

[@franciscovaldes4107]

Will the new change on the berry pouch change this strategies?

[@keck24]

Do you by any chance know if the percentage on king rocks is additive or separate? If I have 3 king rocks on my carry with 3 multi-lenses, using the move zen-headbutt 4 times, it’s a difference in calculation of 0,7^4 * 0,8^4 (counter probability assuming king rock is additive hitting 4 times and not flinching multiplied by the counter probability of zen-headbutt hitting 4 times and not flinching) (roughly 10% of not flinching) and 0,9^3^4 * 0,8^4 (Counter Probability of each 10% instance of a separate king rock not flinching, while hitting 4 times because of 3 multi-lenses * counter Probability of zen-headbutt hitting 4 times and not flinching) (roughly 11,5% of not flinching). Whether king rock is additive or not also matters more when using a move that does not have an innate flinch chance - in that case the difference is not only roughly 1,5%, but 4-5% between 71% vs. 76%.

[@Knetterkoekje]

It is additive if I'm not mistaken, great question!

I have an Archaludon but it has no sturdy ability. Should I Fuse Garganacl first then? Or try to get another Archaludon? Edit: Ability comes from 2nd pokemon (Garganacl). So only Garg needs to have sturdy.

[@Knetterkoekje]

Good question! If you start your fusion with Garganacl you will not get the steel type from Arch as it takes the 2nd or only type from the pokemon that comes 2nd in the fusion. So you'd end up with a dragon/rock type pokémon and you want a steel type for the STAB damage on Metal Burst. So yeah try to get another arch or different sturdy steel pokemon. You can do it the other way around. So start with Arch and go 2nd with Garganacl, learn salt cure then unfuse and then fuse with a sturdy pokemon :)

@@Knetterkoekje I found out it is no problem if archeludon has sturdy or not. In fusion the ability of the second pokemon is taken. So if arch doesnt have sturdy it doesnt matter. But Garg needs to have it
