PokéBonk tier list: a version-aware ranking framework

A transparent PokéBonk tier list framework for starters, evolutions and unlocks, with version labels instead of fake certainty.

Draft frameworkThis is a method page, not an official PokéBonk ranking or a claim that every Pokémon is currently available.

Rank four separate things

  • Early run: how quickly the character becomes useful with the first upgrade cards.
  • Survival: whether it keeps space when enemies stack up.
  • Scaling: whether later upgrades still solve the run’s problem.
  • Availability: whether the current browser build actually exposes the character.

Those categories stop a rare or unavailable character from automatically becoming “S tier”. The final table should show a check date, mode, build and evidence link beside every row.

What would make this a real list?

We need repeated runs from the current game, not a copied graphic or mainline Pokémon reputation. Until then, this page is useful as a reading guide and honest about what is not verified.
