Chain Mode
The endless Pokémon chain survival mode — also known as PokéChain.
Where the daily puzzle has a fixed start and end, Chain mode never stops. One Pokémon sits at the head of the chain and a connection rule appears — your job is to pick any Pokémon that satisfies it. That pick becomes the new head, a fresh rule shows up, and the chain grows. How far can you get?
The daily chain
The run you land on is the daily chain: same starting Pokémon and same rules for everyone that day, 4 lives, one try. When it ends, your chain length is your score for the day — that's what makes it worth comparing. Each difficulty has its own daily, and finishing one keeps your Chain streak alive. In Unlimited you pick your lives and run as many times as you want.
Lives and no repeats
The daily run has 4 lives; in Unlimited you play with 1 life(sudden death), 3 or endless. A pick that doesn't satisfy the rule — or a Pokémon you've already used — costs a life, because no Pokémon can be repeated in a run. As your chain gets longer, the pool of unused Pokémon shrinks and every rule gets tougher to answer.
Score and difficulty
Your score is the length of your chain, and your best run is saved per difficulty. Normal uses the everyday connections; Hard pulls from the deeper rule set. Not sure what a rule is asking for? The connections guide explains every one with examples.
Tips for a long chain
- Favour flexible, popular Pokémon early — ones with common types and broad connections keep your options open.
- Save your rare picks (legendaries, unique typings) for rules only they can satisfy.
- Watch for directional rules — the arrow decides who has to be faster, heavier or super effective.
FAQ
What is Chain mode?
Chain mode (sometimes called PokéChain) is an endless survival twist on PokéWired. A Pokémon and a rule appear, you pick a Pokémon that satisfies the connection, it becomes the new head of the chain, and a fresh rule appears. You keep going for as long as you can.
Is there a daily Chain run?
Yes, and it's what you land on. Everyone gets the same starting Pokémon and the same rules that day, with 4 lives, and you get one try — when the run ends, that chain length is your score for the day and it stays saved. Switch to Unlimited if you want to keep running.
How do you lose in Chain mode?
The daily run gives you 4 lives; in Unlimited you choose 1, 3 or endless. Picking a Pokémon that doesn't satisfy the current connection — or repeating a Pokémon you've already used — costs a life. When you run out of lives, the run ends and your chain length is your score.
Can I repeat Pokémon?
No. Every Pokémon in a run must be unique, so the longer your chain gets, the harder it becomes to find a valid next pick.
Is my score saved?
Yes. Your best chain length is saved per difficulty, so you can always try to beat your own record in Normal or Hard.
En español: modo Cadena
El modo Cadena (o PokéChain) es un survival infinito. Aparece un Pokémon y una regla de conexión: tenés que elegir un Pokémon que la cumpla. Ese Pokémon pasa a ser la nueva cabeza de la cadena, aparece otra regla y la cadena sigue creciendo.
La cadena diaria es con la que entrás: mismo Pokémon inicial y mismas reglas para todos, 4 vidas y un solo intento. Lo que llegues es tu marca del día y mantiene viva tu racha de Cadena. En Ilimitado elegís las vidas y corrés las veces que quieras.
En ilimitado jugás con 1 vida (muerte súbita) o 3 vidas. Elegir mal —o repetir un Pokémon ya usado— te cuesta una vida, porque no se puede repetir ninguno. Tu puntaje es el largo de la cadena y tu mejor marca se guarda por dificultad, en Normal o Difícil.
