Independent guide
Privacy notice
This notice covers the PokeBonk guide section at megabonk.org/pokebonk/. It is separate from the privacy policy of the original game at pokebonk.com.
Website delivery
The website is delivered through Cloudflare. Delivery and security services may process request data such as IP address, browser information and the requested URL. Cloudflare may apply security checks at its edge. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy ↗ (external website, opens in a new tab).
Scripts and browser storage
The PokeBonk homepage and gameplay guides load Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may make third-party requests and use cookies or device information to deliver and measure advertisements. About, Contact, this privacy page and error pages do not load our AdSense code. This section also loads the site-wide Umami analytics service described below. The starter selector, reference-table filters and fusion pair finder run locally. They do not submit your selections or store them. Partner search, build planning and Lab budgets also run locally. Build share links encode the selected partner, moves, goal, capacity, item copies, vitamins and declared owned Lab levels in the URL; anyone you share that link with can read those choices. They contain no game credentials and do not change your game account. Fonts and images are hosted with this website. Edge-delivery services may add their own operational behavior.
Other Megabonk.org pages use Cloudflare Web Analytics, Google Analytics and Google advertising services and have a separate site-wide privacy notice. Following a link out of this section can therefore load different services. This notice does not claim that the entire domain is free of third-party scripts.
Advertising choices
You can manage Google advertising preferences through Google My Ad Center ↗ (external website, opens in a new tab). Applicable consent choices may also be provided by Google’s consent messages. See Google’s advertising privacy explanation ↗ (external website, opens in a new tab) for how advertising information is used.
Contact email
If you email contact@megabonk.org, Our email service provider processes the message and the publisher receives the sender address and whatever details you include. Messages are used to handle the request. Do not include game passwords or unnecessary personal data. You may email the same address to request removal of correspondence, subject to any necessary record retention.
Third-party game window
The Play page loads a game hosted by pokemon-team-builder.org only after you click Play PokeBonk. Your browser then connects to that host and services it uses. The host receives technical request data and controls its game accounts, sessions, storage and progress. Its accounts and saves are separate from pokebonk.com. We do not operate that host or verify its privacy practices. Minimizing keeps the frame connected; close or leave the Play page to end its embedded session. See Pokemon Team Builder privacy policy ↗ (external, opens in a new tab).
External websites
The original game, Discord and Steam apply their own terms and privacy practices. Opening the original game may create game-related browser storage or a server account; this guide does not operate that system. See the original project’s privacy notice ↗ (external website, opens in a new tab).
Optional local build drafts
If you press Save current draft, this browser stores the draft name and planning URL in localStorage under pb-build-drafts-v1. Saved drafts stay on this browser and are not sent to the game or a new service. Load restores the URL; Delete selected draft removes one saved entry. Rename and Replace update a selected local entry. Export downloads a JSON backup; Import reads a local JSON file on your device and adds validated planning drafts without uploading it. Compare reads two local drafts. Planned form, eligible growth and vitamin levels can also appear in a shared URL. Storage can be unavailable or cleared by the browser. A planning draft is not a game save and does not recover your account. The optional manual unlock checklist stores only selected partner IDs under pb-partner-checklist-v1 when you press Save checklist; Clear checklist removes it. It does not read game progress. Share links work without saving locally.
Questions or corrections
Use our contact page. This notice will be revised if this section adds services that change the practices described here.
Additional local planning tools
Move filters, support-type plans, conditional-effect experiments and Lab purchase previews run in this browser without a game connection or new storage. A support link may carry declared Lab/item counts in its URL. These tools do not import game saves. Applying a budget preview changes only the calculator target levels. The optional interface language changes operation labels; game names and source descriptions remain in English.
Unified declared drafts
Support types, a separate shiny, mode/difficulty, declared Guest/Bag intentions and HP/armor/buff experiments can be included in a planning URL and the existing optional draft backup. The existing pb-build-drafts-v1 key is reused. Selecting a saved draft in move lookup reads that local list; the resulting URL is a copy, not an automatic overwrite. Returning from the support tool carries only planning declarations. No game login, account save or remote storage is read.
Upgrade logs, Lab targets and private attempt notes
Move levels, offered card effects, declared fusion stage, target Lab levels, Stardust balance and hypothetical-preview choice can be encoded in shared URLs. Anyone with those links can read the declarations. Optional attempt notes (played version, result, elapsed time, failure reason and next change) are stored only when you explicitly save a draft, in the existing pb-build-drafts-v1 browser key. Exporting drafts includes these notes in the local backup file; share URLs and generated summaries exclude them. Import and load restore user declarations without verifying gameplay. Delete drafts with the existing controls or clear this site’s storage. No game account, results API or additional remote storage is accessed.
Site-wide Umami analytics
Updated 3 November 2026. All Megabonk.org pages, including guide sections, privacy and contact pages, and error pages, load Umami from umami-nine-rust.vercel.app to measure website usage. Your browser connects to that service and sends page-view information such as the page URL, referrer and browser/device details. This service also applies to this guide section.
