PokéBonk Items Guide: Rarities, Effects and Caps

Quick answer

PokéBonk has 102 items in its pool, sorted into rarities (Legendary, Epic, Rare…). Each card lists its effect and a max — how many copies can count. An item you have maxed shows “Max” and Meowth stops selling it. The best-known legendaries are Max Revive, Rare Candy and Master Ball.

Which items have we recorded?

Observed, Beta v0.7.2. The Rare list (eight items, among them Life Orb, Choice Band, Choice Specs and Choice Scarf) was cut off in our capture, so we leave their effects out until we record them.

What does the “Max” mean?

Each card shows a maximum such as “max. 10”. Items you have maxed show “Max”, and Meowth will not sell them to you. Ditto also no longer copies an item past its maximum — someone had been carrying 54 Master Balls. Official, maintenance update. The Master Ball’s maximum is now 1.

What changed for Focus Band?

Focus Band no longer makes you immortal: it saves you 15 / 28 / 39 / 48% of the time with 1 to 4 bands, and at most once every 20 s. Official, maintenance update.

How do I know which moves an item affects?

Level-up cards, items and the shop show “Affects: …” with the moves an item changes, and under each vitamin in the pause menu you see the moves it affects. When you sell at Meowth, every item shows its name, rarity, effect and affected moves. Official, Patches #2 and #3. Bonuses are also added within groups (items, run bonuses, vitamins, passive, temporary effects) and only the groups multiply, so stacking many items no longer grows without limit. Official, maintenance update.

Where do items come from?

From Poké Balls (you pick one of three items) and Meowth’s shop — see the economy guide. The Lab lists which items are “In your Poké Balls” and which are still “To discover” (see the Lab guide); we have not checked how an item moves between the two.
