PokéBonk Beginner Tips
Updated

TL;DR · Keep moving, read every card, use the map markers, and spend early Stardust on damage and HP.
The tips
- Never stand still — except with Metal Powder, standing still just lets the horde surround you.
- Pick up the Pokémon Egg from the nest; it hatches into a Support Alpha after enough KOs.
- Charge every Unown altar you pass; blessings snowball.
- Hold Tab to check the map without pausing.
- Drop map markers on Poké Balls and Meowth so you do not forget them.
- Read the Affects line — a card that affects none of your moves is wasted.
- Spread your three moves over different ranges.
- Learn one reaction your partner can trigger (e.g. Wet + Electric).
- Jump over boss Shockwaves.
- In Survival, lead the horde over hostile ground — it hurts them too.
- Use Dive off ledges for big area damage once you are comfortable.
- Sell items you will never use; Legendaries are worth ~1.5 Poké Balls.
- Do not Restock Meowth repeatedly — the cost keeps climbing.
- Claim daily/weekly Tasks and achievements for free Stardust.
- Turn on Auto Ultimate if you keep forgetting to fire it.
