Kanto Pokémon to meet

Know the game

What is PokeBonk?

PokeBonk is a free 3D survivor game starring the Pokémon of Kanto. You pick a partner, drop into a 3D region and survive waves of wild Pokémon while your partner attacks on its own.

Every level-up offers a choice of cards: learn a new move, power up one you have, or take a vitamin. Evolve your partner, capture new League members and push deeper with each run.

It was made by Charcher, inspired by Megabonk, and became one of the most played browser games of October 2026 within days of release.

    Classic takes you through zones to a final shrine. Survival is an endless horde that tests how long you last.

    Level up and choose a card

    Each level offers upgrade cards: a new move, a stronger move, or a vitamin that boosts a stat.

Starters

Grass, Fire or Water?

Your first partner sets the feel of the run. Each one has a passive that is always on.

Bulbasaur

🍃 Grass · Poison

Healer

Passive · Synthesis

+1.5 regeneration and +25% healing. Your Grass attacks heal you a little on every hit (0.4% of HP, up to 5 times per second).

Starting attack: Vine Whip

Pick it for your first runs: it forgives mistakes.

Charmander

🔥 Fire

Fiery Assault

Passive · Sea of Flames

+10% Fire damage, and +40% damage while your HP is below 40%.

Starting attack: Ember

Pick it if you like clearing crowds fast and taking risks.

Squirtle

💧 Water

Defender

Passive · Torrent Shell

+15 armor and +20 shield, plus +40% damage while your HP is below 40%.

Starting attack: Water Gun

Pick it if you get swarmed often and want to stay alive.

Game modes

Two ways to play

Squirtle exploring Viridian Forest at the start of a run

Classic

Fight through zones, beat each guardian and reach the shrine. Runs have an end and a win screen.

Survival

An endless horde with milestones along the way. The goal is simple: last as long as you can.

Level-up cards

Three cards, one choice

A level-up offering Bubble, X Defense and a Water Gun upgrade
01

New move

Teach your partner another attack. Each move has a type, so mixing types covers more enemies.

02

Move upgrade

Make a move you already have stronger. Some moves can be fused into a higher star rank.

03

Vitamin

Raise a stat such as damage, speed or defense. Good when your moves are already where you want them.

Ultimate

On a phone, the game shows touch controls. Gamepads work too.

01

Keep moving

Your partner attacks by itself. Your job is space: circle the horde instead of running into it, and keep an escape route open.

02

Save your Ultimate

The Ultimate charges as you fight. Fire it when you are cornered or when a guardian shows up, not on the first small group.

03

Read every card

Each level-up gives a choice. Early on, a second attack usually helps more than a small stat boost.

04

Pause to plan

Press Esc to see your health, moves, items and stats in one place before you pick the next upgrade.

Between runs

Get stronger every run

A run ends, your progress does not. Here is what carries over.

The Lab training upgrades: Training, Stamina, Agility, Study and more

Lab upgrades

Between runs, spend Stardust in the Lab on permanent upgrades such as damage, max HP, speed, experience and pickup range. Every run makes the next one stronger.

The Lab items catalog with Max Revive, Rare Candy and Master Ball

Items

Unlock items like Rare Candy, Max Revive and Master Ball, then find them in your runs. Rare and legendary items can change how a whole run plays.

Moves and evolutions

Each partner has its own kit plus moves from its evolution line. Level up, evolve and grow your League with the Pokémon you capture.
