How to play

Controls

On a gamepad, the D-pad and left stick move your Pokémon and navigate every menu, A confirms, B goes back and Start pauses. In a run, A fires the special attack.

In Settings → Controls → Keyboard and gamepad, you can change the key and the gamepad button of every action (move, special, Mega, lunge, pause, confirm and back). The arrows and Esc always work.

On phones you can install the game as a fullscreen app: open the browser menu and choose "Add to Home Screen".

The run

Pick one of 27 starters, Kanto to Paldea. Each one has its own stats, starting move, learnset and special attack (see the Pokédex).

Walk around and dodge: your moves fire on their own as their cooldowns come back. Survive 15 minutes of ever bigger hordes. At the end Mewtwo shows up, and beating it wins the run. After that you can keep going in endless mode.

If your HP hits zero the run is over (unless you are holding a Revive, or are in a rift’s arena, which just casts you back out). The Poké Dollars you picked up go to your wallet.

Regular enemies get tougher every minute (bosses don't): at 5:00, 2.2x HP and 1.35x damage; at 10:00, 4.6x HP and 1.7x damage; at 15:00, 8.8x HP and 2.05x damage.

Difficulty

Pick the difficulty in the partner select's bottom bar, next to the Start button (or with the X key). Every level is open from the start and your pick is saved. Normal is the base run; the other levels multiply:

Timeline

Biomes and weather

A run walks through 5 biomes, 3 minutes each, with no loading screen: the ground dissolves into the next place and every biome has its own music. Breakables change their look too (in the cave, tall grass becomes a rock and the berry tree a giant mushroom).

Each biome pulls the horde towards its types: a stage's new species are 3x likelier to have a local type (more Grass and Bug in the forest, more Rock and Ground in the cave), without leaving the others out.

The weather changes a few times per run and applies to everyone: your moves and the enemies' attacks alike. Each biome has its own likely weather, and the weather icon shows next to the clock.

Weather

The wild horde

The horde has 415 wild species from all 9 generations, and every run draws its own cast: about 18 species, only a few new ones per stage, so you can tell who is coming.

Each species sits in a tier set by its base stat total. The first stages draw from tier 1 (weak basic Pokémon) and the end of the run from tiers 4 and 5 (evolved Pokémon). Swarms take a flying Pokémon of their tier, and rings a Pokémon of their tier you have already met this run.

In-game stats come from the base stats: HP from the tier and the bulk (HP, Defense and Special Defense), damage from the tier and the best attacking stat, speed from base Speed, EXP from HP, and knockback resistance from HP and Defense (flying and ghost types are lighter).

Once the horde passes 90% of the stage's cap, new arrivals come in as elites (up to 30% of the cap), with a red outline: 1.6x HP and EXP and 1.25x damage. Keeping the screen clear keeps it from turning into a horde of elites. No elites spawn during the Mewtwo fight.

From 1:00, one of each stage's new species runs: 1.6x faster (never faster than you without bonuses), with 70% of the HP, speed lines, and it aims where you're going to be, up to 1s ahead. Running in circles won't shake it.

Tiers by stage

Levels and moves

Fainted Pokémon drop Exp. Candies. Walk near them to collect them (the Dowsing Machine widens the reach).

On every level up, pick 1 of 3 offers: a new move from your Pokémon's learnset, a move upgrade, a new held item or another item level. You can hold up to 6 moves and 6 items. Moves go up to Lv 8.

Type items (Charcoal, Mystic Water…) only show up if your Pokémon learns moves of that type. When there is nothing left to offer, you get an Oran Berry (+40 HP).

Reroll (draw new offers) and Skip (pass on a level up without picking anything, handy when no offer fits) are charges bought in the Poké Mart.

Your Pokémon evolves at Lv 12 and Lv 28, just like on the handhelds. Each evolution adds HP and stats, and the final one powers up the special attack.

Held items

Move evolutions

Just like in Vampire Survivors: max out a move and hold its paired item. On your next level up (or the next Poké Ball), the evolution shows up as an offer and replaces the move in the same slot.

One item can evolve more than one move: Charcoal works for both Ember and Fire Spin, for example.

No evolution yet: Mach Punch, Flash Cannon, Spirit Shackle, Water Shuriken, Crunch, Pyro Ball, Psyshock, Earthquake, Drum Beating, Disarming Voice, Torch Song, Leaf Blade, Razor Shell, Hex.

Special attack

Besides the automatic moves, every Pokémon has a manual special attack: press Space, the A / ✕ gamepad button or the round button on screen. It charges for a moment (you move slower) and then fires: some aim the way you are walking, others hit all around you or fall from the sky on the nearest foes. Quick Attack and Extreme Speed are manual too, since they move you: press Shift, X / □ or the lunge button to lunge at the foe ahead.

Each of the 18 types has its own special, and your Pokémon uses its first type's. Its cooldown shrinks with the Cooldown stat, down to 4s. At the final evolution it becomes the stronger version, with more damage and area.

Some agile lines trade their type special for a chain dash: the Pokémon slashes through to the nearest foe and, on a hit, has half a second to press again and jump to the next one, up to its jump limit. The cooldown only starts when the chain ends. Aegislash trades its special for Stance Change instead: it swaps between Shield Forme, which takes less damage, and Blade Forme, which hits harder.

Types and status

Damage uses the real type chart, softened so no build is ever useless: super effective deals 1.5x, doubly super effective 2x, not very effective 0.75x, and immunities become 0.5x. Yellow numbers with "!" mean super effective.

Some moves inflict status conditions. Chance and power grow with upgrades and items.

King's Rock raises the status chance, Toxic Orb raises burn and poison damage, and Light Clay makes statuses last longer.

Bosses

Bosses arrive at fixed times. Legendaries make an entrance with a screen flash, their cry and a banner. All of them get an HP bar at the top and their own attacks: marked circles on the ground show where a hit will land, so step out of them.

Each boss switches between two ways of fighting every 4 to 9 seconds: up close, it rushes in and slams the area around itself; at range, it stops a few steps away and aims at you. Under 50% HP it enrages (red outline, cry and a screen flash): 15% faster, 20% less time between attacks and, 35% of the time, a second attack right after the first.

Bosses don't get tougher over time, and each one drops a Poké Ball and a shower of Poké Dollars.

For each boss's first 60s, while it's nearby, only 30% of the regular enemies spawn, so the fight is with it; then the horde comes back. Each boss has until the next one arrives: if it's still standing when the next boss shows up, it flees and leaves nothing behind. Mewtwo is the last one: it blasts the horde away when it arrives and, while it stands, only 20% of the regular enemies spawn, so the fight is about dodging its attacks.

At 7:00, 9:30 and 12:00 come the three members of a legendary trio, drawn at the start of each run: Kanto birds (Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres), Johto beasts (Raikou, Entei, Suicune) and Hoenn Regis (Regirock, Regice, Registeel). HP, contact damage and speed belong to the time slot, not the Pokémon, so no draw is easier than another; what changes is the attacks.

At the end, with a 10% chance, a mythical Pokémon joins Mewtwo: Mew, Celebi or Jirachi, also drawn per run.

Special enemies

Some wild Pokémon do more than chase: they heal, shield and call in the horde, or attack from afar. They are seasoning, never the bulk: from 1:00 on, each stage brings at most one species with a behavior, it shows up less than the rest and there are never more than 6 alive at once. Keep an eye out.

Every one of their attacks warns you first: a "!" over the head, a red circle, a line or a shadow on the ground that blinks faster as the hit gets close. The first time each one shows up in a run, a message explains what it does.

Pokémon	Behavior	What it does
Drifloon	Kamikaze	Walks up, stops, blinks red and explodes after 1.1s. The blast deals 2.5x its contact damage to you and takes 60% of the HP of enemies in the circle. Get out of the red circle, or lure it into the horde: the blast hurts enemies too.
Bronzor	Shield	Every 5s, wraps nearby allies in a shield that soaks damage equal to 40% of their max HP, for 6s. Blue numbers are absorbed damage. Take out the shielder or wait for the shield to blink and fade.
Vikavolt	Beam	Stops, draws the beam's line on the ground for 0.8s and fires: 1.6x its contact damage. The aim locks when the line shows up: one step aside is enough.
Lokix	Leaper	Leaps over the horde to where you stood. The shadow on the ground marks the landing 1.2s ahead, and the impact deals 1.5x its contact damage. Get off the shadow before it lands.
Voltorb	Kamikaze	Walks up, stops, blinks red and explodes after 1.1s. The blast deals 2.5x its contact damage to you and takes 60% of the HP of enemies in the circle. Get out of the red circle, or lure it into the horde: the blast hurts enemies too.
Electrode	Kamikaze	Walks up, stops, blinks red and explodes after 1.1s. The blast deals 2.5x its contact damage to you and takes 60% of the HP of enemies in the circle. Get out of the red circle, or lure it into the horde: the blast hurts enemies too.
Magnemite	Beam	Stops, draws the beam's line on the ground for 0.8s and fires: 1.6x its contact damage. The aim locks when the line shows up: one step aside is enough.
Chansey	Healer	Every 4s, a green pulse heals 25% of the max HP of wounded allies nearby. Take it down first, or the horde keeps topping up.
Hitmonlee	Leaper	Leaps over the horde to where you stood. The shadow on the ground marks the landing 1.2s ahead, and the impact deals 1.5x its contact damage. Get off the shadow before it lands.
Bronzong	Shield	Every 5s, wraps nearby allies in a shield that soaks damage equal to 40% of their max HP, for 6s. Blue numbers are absorbed damage. Take out the shielder or wait for the shield to blink and fade.
Nidoqueen	Summoner	Every 6s it calls in 2 reinforcements (Nidoran♀ and Nidoran♂), up to 4 at once. The reinforcements stop once she falls.

Legendary rifts and endless mode

From 3:30, roughly every 4 minutes, a legendary rift opens off screen, with a purple arrow on the edge pointing at it. It stays open for 40s. If a boss is alive when it's due, it waits up to 45s for the boss to fall, so every run gets 3 rifts, even when bosses take a while.

Stepping in is optional: stand inside the rift for 1s. It takes you to the arena of a legendary from another generation, each with its own shape and terrain: islands in shallow water, pillars for cover, a pool whose tide rises, lava rivers with bridges, an edge that falls away, an island ringed by surf, a meteor in space. You have 60s to win; if time runs out the rift collapses and throws you back with no reward. Fainting in the arena doesn’t end the run either: the rift casts you back onto the map with 30% HP, no reward, and your Revive stays in the Bag.

The run clock keeps ticking inside, but the horde outside freezes and nothing new spawns. When you come back, enemies are stronger because time passed, and any events you missed arrive at once.

The reward is worth the risk: lots of EXP, two bags of ₽ on top of the boss shower, extra Poké Balls, a Rare Candy, a Super Potion and half your HP back. In 1 of 8 rifts the legendary is shiny and pays double ₽ plus another Poké Ball.

Legendary	Types	Base HP	Attacks
Lugia	PsychicFlying	3,400	Ring of 14 projectiles every 3.2s (20 damage) Area slam around itself every 6s (24 damage)
Ho-Oh	FireFlying	3,400	Leaves a harmful trail for 3s (16 damage) 5 marked strikes on the ground near you every 3.6s (22 damage)
Kyogre	Water	3,800	Ring of 18 projectiles every 3.4s (20 damage) 4 marked strikes on the ground near you every 4s (20 damage)
Groudon	Ground	4,200	6 marked strikes on the ground near you every 3.2s (22 damage) Area slam around itself every 5.5s (26 damage) Leaves a harmful trail for 2.4s (14 damage)
Rayquaza	DragonFlying	3,000	Ring of 10 projectiles every 2.2s (20 damage) 3 marked strikes on the ground near you every 3.4s (24 damage)
Dialga	SteelDragon	3,600	Area slam around itself every 6.5s (28 damage) Ring of 20 projectiles every 3.6s (18 damage) 2 marked strikes on the ground near you every 4.5s (22 damage)
Latias	DragonPsychic	3,200	Ring of 12 projectiles every 3s (20 damage) Leaves a harmful trail for 2.6s (14 damage) 3 marked strikes on the ground near you every 3.8s (22 damage)
Latios	DragonPsychic	3,200	1 marked strike on the ground near you every 3s (26 damage) Ring of 14 projectiles every 3.4s (20 damage) Area slam around itself every 6s (24 damage)
Deoxys	Psychic	2,800	Ring of 20 projectiles every 3.2s (22 damage) 6 marked strikes on the ground near you every 3.6s (22 damage) Area slam around itself every 6s (26 damage)
Arceus	Normal	300,000	7 marked strikes on the ground near you every 3s (45 damage) Ring of 24 projectiles every 4.5s (40 damage)

Base HP is the first rift's, at 3:30. After that, the legendary's HP and contact damage grow with the clock: +50% HP per minute. Every rift brings a different legendary.

Endless mode

After you beat Mewtwo, the victory screen offers to keep going in endless mode. If you don't want to, you leave with the regular victory, and the bonus is paid right away.

The horde keeps growing: more enemies spawn, the on-screen cap rises and rings and swarms arrive every 40 seconds. Rifts keep opening.

At 20:00, Arceus descends to hunt you. It gets faster the longer it hunts, until nobody can outrun it, and it never loses you: wander off and it reappears at the edge of the screen. It can be beaten, but it has 300,000 HP; if it falls, it comes back 2 minutes later, stronger.

Time survived is the main score: every minute past 15:00 pays ₽90 in the bonus, and every defeated Arceus another ₽5,000.

Mega Evolution

33 lines can Mega Evolve. The first rift legendary you beat with one of them leaves the line's Mega Stone with its loot. Charizard, Raichu, Garchomp, and Lucario have two Megas: the legendary leaves both stones and the one you pick up decides the Mega (the other crumbles). With the stone in hand and your Pokémon at its final evolution, the MEGA button shows up (E key, or Y on a gamepad).

Press it and the Key Stone reacts: the world holds still for 1.1s while rainbow energy wraps your Pokémon, and the Mega Evolution ends in a burst that pushes back and hurts the horde around you and makes you invulnerable for a moment. The Mega form lasts 20s, gets the stats below, swaps the special for its own (ready to use right away) and turns its ability on. Then it goes back to normal and needs 60s before it can Mega Evolve again: save it for a boss, a rift or a closing ring.

Shinies

Every regular wild Pokémon has a 1 in 450 chance to spawn shiny. It becomes an elite with 8x HP and 10x EXP, and always drops a Poké Ball and Poké Dollars. Map bosses, Mewtwo and Arceus are never shiny, but a rift's legendary has a 1 in 8 chance to be, and pays more.

Your starter has a 1 in 64 chance to be shiny, and stays shiny through every evolution of that run.

A Poké Ball (from bosses and shinies) grants a random upgrade on the spot, or a move evolution if one is ready.

A defeated shiny is yours: it shows up as caught, sparkle and all, in the in-game Pokédex (Pokédex, on the title menu). The Pokémon that comes out of an egg counts as caught too (and its evolution line as seen), and so does every form you played, the ones you evolved into included. The Pokédex holds the game's 572 species, remembers every one you have seen and how many you defeated, and the end of a run shows what is new.

Eggs and the incubator

Besides the 27 starters, 55 playable Pokémon families hatch from eggs, from every type and generation: 82 Pokémon to play in all. Each one has its own starting move, special, mid-run evolution and stats.

Bosses, locked chests and rifts sometimes leave an egg, at most 2 per run. It goes to the incubator, which has 3 slots. Every 16 px walked in a run counts as a step, and every egg in the incubator walks along. An egg found mid-run already counts the steps taken after it.

Once an egg is ready, it hatches when you leave the run or in the incubator (in the main menu and in the Eggs tab of the Pokémon select). Families you don't have yet come out 3x more often. The hatchling has a 1 in 100 chance to be shiny, and then it stays shiny in every run.

A duplicate, or an egg found with the incubator full, becomes Poké Dollars. A player who never had an egg is sure to get the first one.

The Friendship Egg never drops in runs: it comes as a Mystery Gift when you sign up through someone's invite, and when a friend you invited plays 3 verified runs. Only Munchlax hatches from it. At 3 friends you get the Ambassador title and an exclusive frame, and at 10, a shiny Munchlax.

Map items

Item sources show up around the map. Any move breaks them, and each one drops an item. Stronger items get more common late in the run.

Regular enemies also drop an Oran Berry (1.2% chance) or an item (0.4%).

Map events

From 22s into a run, roughly every 31s a point of interest may show up near you (at most 3 at once). The important ones get an arrow on the screen edge. Take too long and they vanish.

Poké Mart and Poké Dollars

Fainted enemies sometimes drop Poké Dollars: a coin, a stack or a bag (₽10, ₽50 and ₽250). Tougher ones drop them more often, and bosses and shinies always pay out.

A bonus comes at the end of the run: ₽30 per minute survived, ₽1 per 4 fainted foes and ₽1,000 for winning. Quitting from the pause menu keeps the coins but forfeits the bonus.

Spend it all in the Poké Mart (button at the top right of the starter select) on permanent upgrades. The Refund button gives back everything you spent, so you can try other builds. Progress is saved only in this browser.

Missions and achievements

Missions is in the title screen menu. Every day brings 3 daily missions (₽100–₽300) and every week 2 weekly ones (₽1,000–₽3,000). They are drawn from your device's date, so everyone gets the same ones on the same day: dailies change at midnight and weeklies on Monday.

Progress counts at the end of every run, even if you quit from the pause menu, and adds up the runs of the day or week. Survival, level, endless and species missions count your best run. Missions use what the game has: defeat Pokémon of a type, in a weather or in a biome, win rifts, open chests, grab Meowth's Pay Day, defeat shinies and bosses, collect Poké Dollars, walk, see different species, hatch eggs (it counts when the egg hatches) and beat Mewtwo with a starter of some type. The reward goes straight to your wallet, and some weeklies also give an egg.

Achievements are lifetime goals with a bronze, silver or gold medal (Bronze ₽100, Silver ₽500, Gold ₽2,000 + Rare Egg). Some grant a title, like Shiny Hunter: tap it on the Achievements tab to show it on the title screen and on every run's results. Reward eggs go to the incubator (when it's full they become Poké Dollars) and, at the end of a run, share the per-run egg limit with the eggs you found.

Settings and music

Settings live in the title screen menu and in the pause menu, which is just Resume · Settings · Quit. Changes apply right away and are saved in this browser.

The soundtrack is original chiptune, composed in code and synthesized live in the browser with no audio files: a village theme in the menus, a march during the run and a boss theme while a boss is alive.
