About PokéSurvivor

Survive endless hordes of wild Pokémon in this Survivor.io style roguelite. Play solo or in online co-op with touch support.

The gameplay takes inspiration from Survivor.io and Vampire Survivors, placing your chosen starter Pokémon in an open arena swarming with waves of wild Pokémon. Your Pokémon attacks automatically while you maneuver to dodge incoming swarms, collect fallen experience gems, and level up.

Each level grants a choice of attack abilities, passive stat boosts, and elemental evolutions based on authentic Pokémon type matchups. The game features 966 distinct Pokémon species, shiny variants, and legendary encounters that spawn in late-game wave timers.

A dedicated co-op multiplayer mode allows two players to team up in the same arena via room codes. The browser edition includes full touch controls for mobile screens as well as responsive WASD keyboard controls.

Players seeking a full 3D arena survival experience with original Kanto starters can also play PokéBonk on Zadely.

  • Look out for Shiny Pokémon spawns: defeating them drops high-tier experience crystals and rare passive stat boosts.
  • Match your secondary abilities with your Pokémon's core elemental type to trigger powerful evolution synergies.
