Upgrades
Poke Survivor Permanent Upgrades
All 13 permanent upgrades in PokéSurvivor: what each level gives, the max level and the PokéCoin cost of every level. Maxing all of them costs 40,000 coins.
How upgrades work
You buy upgrades with PokéCoins in the menu between runs. They apply to every run, whichever Pokémon you play, and each level costs more than the one before.
PokéCoins come from runs (Fortune and the Amulet Coin item raise the amount), from duplicate gacha pulls and from achievement rewards.

Cost of each level
PokéCoins for each level. The smaller number is the running total needed to reach that level. The game rounds every price to the nearest 10 coins.

Which upgrades to buy first
- Strength and Vitality help every Pokémon from the first minute, and their early levels are cheap: a safe place to start.
- Fortune raises the coins from every later run, so its first levels pay off sooner the earlier you buy them.
- Repertoire is a single large purchase that starts each run with two moves instead of one. Save for it once the cheap levels elsewhere are done.
- Card reroll and Ban do not add power directly; they make level-up cards more reliable when you are building toward a move evolution.
