Poke Survivor

Poke Survivor is a top-down Pokémon survival fan game by JPTER78. Choose a partner, dodge wild Pokémon and collect experience while your selected move attacks automatically. Positioning, move choices and type matchups matter more than aiming a weapon.

Explore an expanding map, strengthen your attacks and enter optional legendary battles. You can play solo or cooperate online with up to four players, then build a collection of Pokémon and shiny forms between runs.

Keep an escape route through the horde

Move around the map to gather experience and avoid being surrounded. Enemies do more than chase: some heal allies, provide shields, summon help or mark the ground before attacking. Defeating the support enemies can make a crowded fight easier to manage.

Leveling up offers three cards for new moves, stronger attacks or stat improvements. Only your active move fires automatically, so switching slots changes how you fight; learning another move does not make every slot attack together.

Evolve moves and combine attacks

To evolve a move, upgrade it to its maximum level and obtain its required stat upgrade. For example, Ember needs Power before it can evolve into Fire Blast. A legendary victory can also offer a bond that combines moves in one slot, allowing the linked attacks to fire together.

Chests and bosses can provide held items, but you can keep only one at a time. Compare a new item's effect with your current build before replacing the old one. Locked chests require you to stay close while they open.

Challenge legendary rifts

Occasional rifts lead to separate arenas themed around Pokémon types. Their terrain and weather can change the fight: water slows movement, ice is slippery and lava causes damage. Win for a reward; defeat sends you back to the main map without the victory reward. In co-op, the group enters together.

Between runs, spend earned coins on permanent upgrades for your chosen Pokémon. Missions, achievements and collection rewards give you goals beyond simply surviving longer.

Your Pokémon attacks automatically with the active move; there is no manual fire button.

• W A S D or ↑ ← ↓ →: Move.
• 1–4: Select the active move slot.
• Q / E: Cycle moves.
• LRLeft Click on a move icon: Select that move. Click a level-up card to choose its reward.
• Esc: Open the pause menu.

On a phone or tablet, use landscape orientation and drag your finger to move. Tap a move icon to change attacks and use the on-screen pause button.

• Upgrade with an evolution in mind. Check the move's required stat before taking unrelated cards. A fully leveled move still needs the matching upgrade to evolve.
• Use types instead of forcing one attack. Switch when the enemies ahead resist your current move. Rain favors Water and weakens Fire, while harsh sunlight reverses that advantage.
• Leave attack markers immediately. Filling circles and lines warn of incoming hits. Step out before returning for experience or loot.
• Make room before opening a chest. Draw the horde away first, then return when you can stay beside the locked chest without being surrounded.
• Check item trade-offs. Choice Band prevents move switching, while Life Orb spends health as you attack. Choose them only when your move and recovery options can support the cost.
