Money and Stardust in PokéBonk
Updated
Two currencies
| Currency | Earned from | Spent on |
|---|---|---|
| ₽ (PokéDollars) | Defeated Pokémon, selling items, Pay Day TM | Poké Balls, Meowth, restocks, slot machine, cages |
| Stardust | Zones, bosses, victories, tasks, achievements, KOs (capped) | Lab upgrades and item unlocks, clan slots |
Poké Balls
Each paid Poké Ball offers three items; pick with keys 1–3 or sell the offer. The price climbs with each purchase. Officially published reference points after the 17 Oct maintenance: the 15th Poké Ball costs 2,206 ₽ and the 20th costs 7,875 ₽. The HUD shows the next price in green (affordable) or red.
Meowth and the slot machine
- Since Season 2, Meowth and slot-machine prices scale with the zone, not with how many Poké Balls you bought.
- Storefront prices stay fixed while stock lasts; Restock gets pricier across the whole run.
- Gold Teeth cuts Meowth, restock and slot prices by 8% per copy (max −24%).
- The slot machine was rebuilt as a Rocket Casino in Season 2; its Gengar curses count toward the knockout limit.
Selling items
An item sells for a share of the Poké Ball price based on rarity; a Legendary is worth about one and a half Poké Balls. Selling S.S. Ticket releases your last Support Alpha.
