PokeBonk Survival mode is the endless mode: no zones, no guardian altars, just hordes that grow until you fall. You use your League Pokemon, and only three bag items are allowed (Rare Candy, Lucky Egg and Amulet Coin). Your survival time is your score on the Survival leaderboards.
It pays to know standard runs first; the PokeBonk guide and PokeBonk tips cover the basics.
PokeBonk Survival mode phases
- 0:00 Phase 1: unevolved wild Pokemon.
- 12:00 Phase 2: evolved Pokemon join the horde.
- 24:00 Phase 3: final forms hunt you.
- 30:00 Deep wounds: you heal a little less every minute.
- 45:00 Endless Night: wild Pokemon get stronger every minute.
A boss every five minutes
Every 5 minutes a milestone boss arrives: guardians at most milestones, Mew at 15:00, Moltres at 30:00 and Mewtwo at 45:00. Each cleared milestone gives a free chest, coins, a Rare Candy and a pact offer.
Survival pacts
After each milestone you may take one of three pacts, or decline. Each pact trades a boon for a bane:
| Pact | Boon | Bane | Max |
|---|---|---|---|
| Horde Pact | An Epic item or better | +25% wild Pokemon | 2 |
| Iron Pact | A Legendary item | Wild Pokemon have +35% HP | 2 |
| Fury Pact | +25% damage | Wild Pokemon deal +25% damage | 2 |
| Wind Pact | +15% speed and one more jump | Wild Pokemon are 12% faster | 2 |
| Elite Pact | +30% experience and +20 luck | Twice as many elite Pokemon | 2 |
| Moon Pact | You gain 3 levels instantly | An Alpha Pokemon every 90 s (previously 150 s) | 1 |
| Greedy Pact | Instant PokeDollars and +30% ₽ | Poke Balls cost 50% more | 2 |
| Glass Pact | +40% crit damage and +10% crit | −20% max HP | 2 |
| Thorny Pact | One more vitamin slot | You heal 30% less | 1 |
The siege rule and map events
After 5:00, if you stay inside a 12 m circle (or stand still) for more than 20 seconds, wild Pokemon start shrugging off your hits, down to 30% damage. Leave the circle to reset it. Keep moving between the events: supply crates fall every 70 to 95 seconds, comet shards every 100 to 140 seconds (stand in them to charge), a migration portal opens every 11 minutes, and Meowth's shop visits every 5 minutes. Hostile ground, like mud and quicksand, is on each map's page: Viridian Forest, Rocky Desert.
Survival scoring and leaderboards
Boards rank Survival by time: a global board and one per map, plus per-Pokemon boards. Seasons last 7 days; the top 100 of a global board and the top 50 of a map board win Stardust, from 100 for places 51 to 100 up to 1,500 for first on a global board. PokeBonk clans covers clan points.
