PokéBonk guide
PokéBonk Daily Mutation guide
Added in 0.8.62: one mutated run a day, with the same map and seed for everyone. Here’s what each mutation changes and what you can earn.
Basic rules
- One mutation per day: same map and same seed for everyone, and you can’t bring your Bag.
- Each of the four appears once every 4 days, never the same two days running. It changes at 00:00 UTC.
- Use any League Pokémon and play as often as you like. The leaderboard keeps your best run of the day.
- Ranking compares how far you got, then KOs.
- The map rotates through Viridian Forest, Rocky Desert, Storm Coast and Celestial Glacier.
- Each mutation sets its own difficulty.
- You need to be signed in for the leaderboard. It can’t be played in co-op, but you can use Save and quit.
The four mutations
| Mutation | Difficulty | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Crystal | Normal | Your max HP is cut to 1/4, and your damage is ×2 |
| Candy Fever | Hard | XP and PokéDollars ×2; enemy HP and damage grow 60% faster over time |
| Dynamax Wilds | Hard | Wild enemies get ×2 size and HP, ×1.5 damage and ×0.85 speed |
| Metronome | Nightmare | Every 30 seconds, one of your moves turns into another random move of the same level |
- Candy Fever only multiplies the time used in the HP and damage curves by 1.6. Spawn counts stay the same.
- Dynamax Wilds only affects normal enemies, Elites and Stampedes. Alphas, Guardians, Totems, Summoners and treasure enemies don’t change.
- Metronome draws from the whole League’s move sets. Your first move and fusions from Bill’s Machine aren’t replaced.
