PokeBonk Guides
Everything we have learned about PokeBonk in one library, kept honest the same way as the rest of the site: recorded runs, in-game text and client data as the source, and unknowns labelled as unknown. The articles cover the v0.8.18 client (Season 2); the 53-run baseline tables on Starters and Tier List stay on v0.8.13 and are marked per run.
