Mode

Mode is an item chosen by the owner of an ability where you "choose one of the following".

Details
Some spells such as Hyperspatial or spells that have the Double Evolution Burst keyword have this modal choice, but it also exists on creatures.

In the case of a spell, the mode is decided at the stage of casting. Therefore, if you cast multiple spells at the same time and they have modal abilities, you must choose the mode before you resolve any spells. If you choose both by the Double Evolution Burst ability, resolve the abilities from the top to bottom (see Spell Ability).

In case of a Trigger Ability, choose the mode at the time of the trigger. If multiple abilities would trigger at the same, it is necessary to choose the mode before the resolution.

If that creature isn't in the battle zone at the time of referring to a mode, or it has evolved and changed into another choice, that mode will fail.
