How to unlock Cubone in PokeBonk
Cubone joins your League in two steps. First, finish its League challenge; the counters add up across runs unless a goal says "in a single run":
- Defeat 4 guardians of the Rocky Desert.
Catching Cubone
Then Cubone can show up as a Wild Encounter in your next runs, 50 to 120 seconds into a zone. It runs away after 150 seconds, so weaken it and throw a Poke Ball before then. The PokeBonk unlock Pokemon guide lists every challenge.
Cubone moves in PokeBonk
Each League Pokemon has a fixed kit of four moves. Move 1 is equipped from the start; moves 2, 3 and 4 are offered as new-move cards at player levels 2, 4 and 7. A run holds three moves until you buy the 4th move slot in the Lab. Hit damage below is the move's base hit at level 1 before your stats, items and type bonus; cooldowns shrink with attack speed.
| Slot | Move | Type | Class | Shape | Unlocks | Base hit | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bone Club | Ground | Physical | Strike | Start | 21 | 0.85 s |
| 2 | Bonemerang | Ground | Physical | Boomerang | Level 2 | 17 | 1.46 s |
| 3 | Bone Rush | Ground | Physical | Orbit | Level 4 | 10 | 4.67 s |
| 4 | Shadow Bone | Ghost | Physical | Boomerang | Level 7 | 13 | 1.58 s |
Cubone passive: Guardian Bone
+10 armor. Your bone attacks deal +20% damage. Below 40% HP, +35% damage.
Bone Club, Bonemerang, and Bone Rush match Cubone's type, so they deal 25% more damage (same-type bonus). Moves can also be learned from its learnset and from other League members of the same type, which the PokeBonk beginner guide explains.
Cubone Ultimate in PokeBonk
Cubone's Ultimate gets stronger as the line evolves: each form has its own version. Press R (Y on a controller) when the bar is full, or turn on Auto Ultimate with the Y key. The PokeBonk Ultimate guide explains how the bar charges.
| Form | Ultimate | Duration | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cubone | Double Bonemerang | 1.8 s | Eight bones spiral out up to 12 m and return to you, hitting on the way out and on the way back. |
| Marowak | Ancestral Club | 2.6 s | You smash the ground with a giant bone club: six fissures with ghost flames and a rain of dark bones that curse. |

| Form | Stage | Max HP | Armor | Speed | Physical | Special | Damage |
