PLAYER QUESTIONS
Good questions. Clear answers.
What is PokéBonk? Is it free?
PokéBonk is a free 3D Pokémon survivors-style browser game inspired by Megabonk. Choose a partner, collect experience, upgrade moves and explore different modes.
Do I need a download or an Android APK?
You can play in a browser without a download or APK. Android users can open the game from the cover card; phone performance and touch support vary.
Can I play real-time co-op with friends?
The supplied screens establish clans and leaderboards, not a shared arena. Features can change; check the current game menu instead of treating video titles as confirmation.
Will a guest save persist?
The guest screen describes server progress tied to the device. Access also depends on browser sessions and inactivity limits. Use in-game account conversion before relying on another device or clearing data.
Is there a wiki or a best-character tier list?
We have seven sourced guides. We do not invent rankings without sufficient playtests; check current evolution, move and Lab values inside the game.
What if the game is blank or keys do not work?
Open the game from the cover card, then check the in-game bindings. If it does not open, check the connection, close heavy tabs and try again. Protect your guest session before clearing browser data.
Why do searches show Pokémon Bank or PokeSurvivor?
Autocomplete can drift to similarly named projects. Pokémon Bank, 3DS and HOME transfer services are unrelated; PokeSurvivor has separate rules. Verify that a source covers this 3D PokéBonk game.
