Pokebonk v0.8.76 Checkpoint: Archive Rules and Older Guides

Pokebonk (officially styled PokéBonk) updates faster than a screenshot can stay current. At 23:05 PDT on October 28, 2026 (06:05 UTC on October 29), its official version file reported v0.8.76, build mvsqtoo8. Here is what that check tells us about recent changes, and how to use guides written against earlier builds.

Which recent changes have an official announcement?

These are announcement claims, paraphrased from the official news feed . Dates below are UTC publication dates; pinned order is not chronological order.

The version manifest identifies the current build; an announcement explains a dated change. Neither gives us grounds to invent a feature list for versions 0.8.56–0.8.76. We also do not treat the absence of a new notice as proof that no bug fixes shipped.

How does the Archive rule work in this client?

The public shared definitions still define six Archive levels and five base slots per level. Once you own at least level one, the bonus is half the number of owned items that belong to the client’s unlock catalog, rounded down. That catalog has 59 entries in this capture.

Capacity = 5 × Archive level + floor(eligible unlocks ÷ 2), with the unlock bonus disabled at level zero.

These are arithmetic examples, not measurements of a live account. The unlock count is not your total item collection, carried items or run pickups. The game client uses this capacity when deciding whether another item can be archived. We did not test the server’s response to an Archive request.

For a spending decision, open Lab → Upgrades and Lab → Items on the official site and compare your own counter. The examples explain the calculation; they are not a recommendation to buy every unlock. We have not measured how any particular Archive selection affects drop rates or run performance.

What does this mean for the guides already on this site?

We checked the published pages alongside their source files. They contain a mixture of historical observations and newer section-level checks. Here is how to read that mixture without assuming that every number applies to the latest build.

A newer version number does not invalidate every sentence of an older guide. It does change how much confidence you should place in a precise price, cap or unlock condition. Our verification policy explains the distinction between announcements, code checks and real play observations.

What should I check before my next run?

1. Read the version shown by your game. If it differs from this checkpoint, the numbers here are a dated reference.
2. Read the evidence note for the specific section you need. A recent page date does not mean every old screenshot was taken again.
3. Compare purchases with your own menu. If a price or capacity differs, pause the purchase and report the page, displayed game version and discrepancy through our site feedback.

You can open the official game from our Play help page . For move choices, the level-up guide explains why move capacity and the number of offered cards are separate concepts. Neither link implies we tested a new account or a full run for this post.

What did we verify, and where is the evidence?

Checked October 28, 2026, Pacific time: HTTP reads of the version file and news feed, the official HTML-to-client import chain, the Archive definition and its use in the game client, and the existing guide text. Downloaded game code was read as text, not executed. The table calculations use the published formula on example inputs.

The public checkpoint receipt records source URLs, retrieval times, SHA-256 fingerprints and the specific findings. It also records the limits: no real-game purchase, Archive action, performance benchmark, save migration, co-op access test or new balance ranking. If a later build changes these rules, this post remains an October 28 checkpoint rather than silently becoming a claim about that later build.
