Can You Play PokeBonk on Android or iPhone?
Updated · Game version checked: PokéBonk 0.8.10 (Season 2)
Yes, in your phone's browser — there is no app. Open pokebonk.com in Chrome (Android) or Safari (iPhone), turn the phone sideways, and play with the on-screen joystick and buttons. There is no official PokeBonk APK, Play Store or App Store version.
How to play PokeBonk on Android
- Open Chrome (or another up-to-date browser) and go to pokebonk.com.
- Turn the phone to landscape. The game shows "PokéBonk is played in landscape" until you do.
- Tap Play as a guest or sign in, choose your partner and start a run.
- Optional: use your browser's "Add to Home screen" to get a shortcut. The site supports this, but it is still the web game, not a separate app.
How to play PokeBonk on iPhone and iPad
- Open Safari and go to pokebonk.com.
- Rotate to landscape. If the iPad or phone is not detected correctly, the game lets you pick the device type in settings (saved on that device).
- Start as a guest or sign in. Tap Share → Add to Home Screen if you want an icon.

Phone settings that help
- Battery saver: caps the game at 30 fps and lowers the resolution so your phone uses less battery.
- Hide my attacks / attack opacity: smoother play when the screen fills with effects.
- Keep playing without image: if the graphics context is lost, the run can continue, and runs are saved even if the connection drops at the end (patch 0.5.7).
The developer has shipped several phone fixes: less stutter when the screen fills with Pokémon (0.5.1), better joystick and camera response (0.5.7), and fewer crashes when moving to the next zone (0.7.4).
Avoid "PokeBonk APK" and mod downloads
The developer only publishes PokeBonk at pokebonk.com. Files called "PokeBonk APK", "PokeBonk mod" or "PokeBonk download" on other sites are not official. Installing apps from unknown sources can put malware or data-stealing software on your phone, and you gain nothing: the real game is free in the browser.
If a site asks you to install something, enter your phone number, or "verify" to unlock PokeBonk, leave it.
FAQ
Is there a PokeBonk app for Android or iPhone?
No. The developer has not released an app on Google Play or the App Store. PokeBonk is played in the browser at pokebonk.com, on phones too.
Is the PokeBonk APK safe?
There is no official PokeBonk APK. Any APK or 'mod' file offered by another site is not from the developer, so we recommend not installing it. Play on pokebonk.com instead.
Does PokeBonk work on iPhone Safari?
Yes, it runs in Safari as long as WebGL is available. Patch 0.6.4 fixed sound not coming back in Safari after switching windows.
Why does PokeBonk ask me to rotate my phone?
PokeBonk is played in landscape. If your tablet or phone does not switch on its own, the game lets you choose the device type in its settings.
