PokéBonk is an unofficial, free browser survivor made by Charcher. You take a Pokémon into a run, fight growing groups of enemies and work through the game's progression. This guide helps you find the real game and use this companion without confusing reference data with in-run rules.
Start with the original game
Open pokebonk.com in a current browser. The original game requires JavaScript and WebGL. There is no installer needed to use the browser release. If another page offers a download, return to the original site before continuing.
Let the game finish loading before selecting a mode. Read the current menu, controls and available session choices there. The game changes frequently, so the live menu is a better authority than an old screenshot. This guide links to the original game rather than providing its own accounts or a separate copy of the game.
Choose a first partner
Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle provide a useful starting point for learning the reference data. Their primary types are Grass, Fire and Water respectively. Open the starter comparison to see their six base stats and associated level-up moves.
Do not choose only by base-stat total. Those three entries have totals of 318, 309 and 314, but those numbers are not a ranking of how well they perform in a PokéBonk run. Passives, upgrades, move behaviour and the current build can change the practical result.
Learn the loop
Use your first run to understand the game's movement and targeting rather than trying to optimize every choice immediately. Check the controls in the game settings. When a choice or a mechanic is unfamiliar, pause where the game permits it and read its current description.
Between runs, look up a specific question. Is a move physical or special in the reference data? Does your partner have that move in its level-up table? Which Pokémon belong to the same evolution family? Those are questions the linked reference pages can answer directly.
The wiki does not yet provide playtested wave timings or a damage simulator. A table showing Power 40 is a base reference, not a promise of 40 points of survivor damage.
What to look up next
- Browse your partner in the Pokédex for its reference stats, abilities and moves.
- Use the move library to find a move's learners and category.
- Try the move planner to keep four selected moves together.
- Check updates before relying on advice written for an earlier build.
If the game does not load, work through the browser troubleshooting guide. If a wiki value differs from what the game displays, trust the current game for that run and consult our source methodology.
