PokeBonk Maps: Region Unlocks & Portal Checklist

October 28 · original v0.8.68 review: The .63 notes say gliding over water no longer slows you, including Storm Coast and Zapdos’ tide. Arena danger and movement slowdown are different effects.^[4]

Version boundary: this guide covers the original pokebonk.com v0.8.55, checked October 26. Our Play window uses a separate third-party v0.8.27 source with separate progress. Newer co-op, Treasures and Archive changes may be absent there.

The four selectable Season 2 regions

Region	Prerequisite	Listed encounter types	Planning implication
Viridian Forest	Available	grass, bug, normal, flying, fairy, poison	Inspect your kit coverage and survival before moving up; this is not a type-only win forecast.
Rocky Desert	Complete Viridian Forest	ground, rock, fighting, steel, fire	Inspect your kit coverage and survival before moving up; this is not a type-only win forecast.
Storm Coast	Complete the Rocky Desert	water, electric, flying, dragon, steel	Inspect your kit coverage and survival before moving up; this is not a type-only win forecast.
Celestial Glacier	Complete the Storm Coast	ice, water, psychic, fairy, dragon	Inspect your kit coverage and survival before moving up; this is not a type-only win forecast.

After a guardian: reward, then portal

Follow the marked guardian/altar objective and its interaction prompt. Reaching an altar is different from defeating the guardian it calls.
After the guardian defeat, locate its Great Ball reward. The v0.8.47 notes added an arrow and minimap guidance toward the reward, then the portal.
Resolve the reward choice, then enter the available portal. In co-op, surviving teammates need to coordinate the portal rather than assuming pause stops the world.
Repeat the current zone’s actual objective. A different palette or weather does not by itself mean another selectable region was unlocked.
In an ordinary Classic zone, the checked client starts Final Swarm once the zone clock reaches 600 seconds (10:00); Tower, Survival and sanctuary rules are separate. Its enemies escalate while you remain there. This warning is not a “survive one more wave to unlock the portal” instruction: finish the guardian/reward/portal objective instead of waiting for the horde to end.

One final-wave question appears in a reply to Splatulated’s browser-client thread, sampled October 26. It is the same thread, not another independent report. We have not reproduced that player’s run or claimed a universal final-wave fix.

Do not turn every biome record into a route

The public bundle has six named biome records, but its Season 2 selection list has four. Graveyard/Lavender is used by the seasonal Tower mode. Volcano Island’s stored name and prerequisite are not an instruction that it can currently be selected. Check the actual region menu; this guide does not publish a guessed Volcano unlock.

Hard and Nightmare are difficulty progression, separate from opening the next region. A map’s availability does not establish that every teammate has its requested difficulty unlocked.

Build a region route from the current objective

Confirm the selectable region and mode; an internal biome record is not proof of a selectable route.
Use the current objective marker and prompt, then distinguish the guardian reward from the portal.
Before entering the next zone, check usable upgrades, recovery and uncollected rewards.
At a Classic shrine, use the region’s named boss mechanic. Do not copy that shrine solution into a Team Survival milestone.

Full Storm Coast and Celestial Glacier walkthroughs remain unverified: this guide does not publish invented coordinates, complete guardian sequences or an unobserved winning route. The existing Zapdos and Articuno guides cover their stated arena cues.
