The snapshot behind this site

Our game-data snapshot is v0.8.34, build mvlr7rzv, synchronized on October 24, 2026. It includes 24 Lab upgrades, 79 League partners, 151 Pokémon entries, 126 held items, 59 shop entries, 26 vitamins, 228 achievements, 6 regions and 60 patch-log entries.

The achievement catalog lists 131,930 Stardust altogether; that is a catalog sum, not a prediction of what a particular player can earn in a session. Similarly, a listed region is not automatically part of the current season playlist. The tools label those distinctions.

Primary game sources

Data comes from the public files served by the official PokéBonk website. We identify its versioned client modules, resolve English names and descriptions using its language data, and combine the results with the public Pokémon dataset, move dataset, type matrix and English reference translations. Links point to the current official files, which may be newer than our displayed snapshot.

Lab costs are evaluated at every upgrade level using the client’s price function. Other structured tables supply items, vitamins, League challenges, maps, achievements, events and official patch notes. Runtime mechanics are extracted separately from the main client module using Acorn syntax trees. A definition’s name alone is not treated as proof of its meaning.

Validation and version changes

Each synchronization builds a complete staged snapshot. Required tables, finite numeric values, valid identifiers and cross-references are checked before the previous data is replaced. Source files and generated outputs receive hashes, and the game’s build is checked again before publication. A failed extraction keeps the previous complete snapshot. Builds and synchronization use the same lock so one exported site cannot quietly read parts of different snapshots.

Snapshots are committed with the source code, making patch changes reviewable. Prices and counts inside the articles use the same data as their tools, including explicit text tokens such as a total Lab budget. The page’s editorial update date and the game-data version describe different things: regenerating a page does not mean its recommendations were independently re-tested.

What a number does and does not mean

Public Pokédex stats, evolution fields and move power are reference data. They do not automatically establish runtime character stats, an in-run evolution rule or damage per second. Runtime extraction distinguishes static base values from random upgrades, conditional passives and effects that require a full combat simulation. Missing fields are marked as not extracted; they are not filled with a remembered main-series Pokémon value.

The client’s research-frame requirements concern cosmetic avatar frames. They are not team-type damage bonuses. Raw type effectiveness and the game’s remapped combat multipliers are also different datasets. These distinctions are recorded in the calculator labels and extraction notes.

Guides may interpret the data, while the patch archive displays the developer’s own notes separately. Editorial ranks are explained opinions. Community statistics reflect submissions to this site, with version separation and sample thresholds; they do not measure the whole game population. Please use our contact page to report a mismatch with its source version.

Pokémon portraits and animated sprites

Portraits and idle animation sheets are downloaded from PMD SpriteCollab and self-hosted here, rather than hotlinked from the game. SpriteCollab’s submission and use policy permits noncommercial use with attribution and links to CC BY-NC 4.0. We retain artist credits below. Original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon artwork is credited to Chunsoft; Pokémon character rights remain with their respective owners.

We convert portrait delivery files from PNG to lossless WebP and use the source animation sheets with their frame timing. The drawings are not redesigned. The site currently has no advertisements. Any future commercial use requires a separate review and replacement of artwork where the applicable conditions do not permit that use.

Item, vitamin and move icons

These icons are sourced from the PokeAPI sprites repository. Its license and notices accompany that project. Repository availability does not transfer ownership of Pokémon artwork or trademarks. Icons on this site are served from our own static assets.

Fonts and site identity

Headings use M PLUS Rounded 1c and body text uses Nunito, matching the typefaces in the game interface. We self-host unmodified Latin font subsets distributed through Fontsource. Their Nunito OFL text, M PLUS Rounded 1c OFL text and source package records are available here. The Poke Bonk Online wordmark is this fan site’s own typographic treatment, not the game’s official logo.
