PokeBonk Lab and Stardust
The Lab is PokeBonk’s between-run progression area. Verified screens show separate Upgrades and Items views and a Stardust balance. Use it to review permanent progression and discovered items, but read the current in-game cost and effect before spending because this site has not verified a complete v0.8.18 price table.
Survival, movement, damage consistency or card flexibility.
Compare the displayed effect and current Stardust cost.
Old screenshots are not a price table.
What the Lab contains
A verified Lab screen shows tabs for Upgrades and Items. The Items view organizes a pool into rarity groups and displays effect cards; the Upgrades view is the relevant place for permanent growth. The official privacy notice also confirms that progress and Stardust history are stored as game data.
- Upgrades: permanent progression shown by the current client.
- Items: discovered and available item information.
- Archive and other tools: read their current unlock text in the game.

Spend only from the current screen
PokeBonk is updating quickly. Costs, caps and effects from an older screenshot can be wrong even when the upgrade name is unchanged. Compare the next-level effect with its displayed Stardust cost, then decide whether that benefit addresses a problem you actually noticed in a run.
A beginner decision method
After a run, write down one friction point: survivability, movement, damage consistency, card choice flexibility, or another clearly displayed problem. Open the Lab and look for a current upgrade that addresses it. This produces a reasoned choice without pretending there is one optimal purchase order for every player.
- Check the next level, not only the maximum level.
- Keep enough Stardust for a choice you understand.
- Recheck the effect after a game update.
Why there is no calculator yet
The official public resource audit did not recover a complete, versioned table of Lab level caps, per-level costs and special unlock conditions. Publishing a calculator now would create false precision. The planner remains deferred until the data can be reproduced from an official public source.
