PokeBonk evolution happens inside a run, by player level only. Stones, trades and friendship from the main games do not matter: pick Charmander and it becomes Charmeleon and then Charizard as you level up. Each stage adds 0.12 to your HP and damage multiplier and upgrades your Ultimate.
Evolution resets with the next run, so every run starts from the League Pokemon. The full list of levels is below; the PokeBonk starters guide covers the first three lines.
How evolution levels are set
The game sets levels from the Pokedex data: the first evolution of a three-stage line comes between levels 16 and 30, and the final evolution (or the only one in a two-stage line) between 36 and 50. Some League Pokemon have their own levels: Caterpie and Weedle evolve at 8 and 36, Magikarp at 40, and the fossils at 40. Magikarp's passive adds +60% experience, so it reaches Gyarados early.
Eevee's random evolution
Eevee evolves at level 36 into Vaporeon, Jolteon or Flareon at random. You cannot choose the branch, so plan items that help all three, such as Wise Glasses.
What evolving gives you
Every stage multiplies your HP and damage by an extra 0.12 (1.12x after one evolution, 1.24x after two), switches your stats to the evolved form's base stats and upgrades the Ultimate to the next form's version. Your moves stay the same. Eviolite gives +50% armor and +25% HP while you can still evolve, so it is best early in a long line. Quests reward evolving: one evolution pays 60 Stardust and ten pay 200.
