The free browser Pokémon survival game

Pokelit game wiki

Pokelit puts you in charge of one Pokémon partner while hordes close in and its moves fire on their own. Look up any of the 980 partners, compare starters and check what changed before your next run.

What is Pokelit?

Pokelit (styled PokéLit) is a free, non-profit fan game by 0d4y in the style of Survivor.io and Vampire Survivors. You roam an endless map with one partner, dodge wild Pokémon and pick level-up cards while up to four moves fire automatically. Rifts pull you into legendary arenas, and online co-op takes up to four players.

The game runs on its official website in English, Italian and Spanish, on PC and on phones. This wiki is an independent reference built from the game’s published data: the Pokelit Pokédex for moves and numbers, the tier list for comparing partners, plus guides to codes and updates.

Your first Pokelit run

  1. Create a free game account and pick a partner. The game needs an account (name and password, or Google) and saves progress in the cloud. New players choose one of the 29 starters; compare them below.
  2. Keep moving. Your partner attacks by itself, so your job is positioning. Circles and lines filling up on the ground are attacks about to land: step out of them.
  3. Choose one of three cards at each level. A card adds a new move, upgrades one you have or boosts your Pokémon. When you find an item, choose whether to equip it or keep your current one.
  4. Spend rewards between runs. Tickets pay for gacha pulls, which add partners and duplicate copies. Look an unfamiliar partner up in the Pokédex before you commit coins or copies to it.

Survival tips from the developer

  • Move in wide circles so the horde follows you in a line.
  • Pick moves that are super effective against the enemies around you; rain strengthens Water and weakens Fire.
  • Take out healers and shield-casters first.

Which Pokelit starter should you pick?

The 29 starters are 9 fire, 11 water and 9 grass-type partners (Bulbasaur, Slowpoke and Rowlet add a second type), and their base numbers sit close together. Pick the stat that suits your play style, then compare signature moves.

Highest base power

Slowpoke

HP 110 · ×1.06 · Speed 84

The most starting HP of any starter (110); it is also the slowest starter (speed 84). Starts with Confusion; signature move Delayed Yawn.

Highest attack multiplier

Scorbunny

HP 100 · ×1.09 · Speed 107

Every move it uses is multiplied by ×1.09, with speed 107. Starts with Ember; signature move Blazing Kickoff.

Fastest movement

Froakie

HP 100 · ×1.04 · Speed 108

Speed 108 helps it stay ahead of a horde and reach pickups; attack ×1.04. Starts with Water Gun; signature move Frubble Wall.

Most starters are ★1, gaining 4% HP and attack per PC Box rank; Psyduck, Rowlet, Litten and Popplio are ★2 and gain 5%. Power is in-run HP × attack, so Pikachu’s 100 HP × 1.00 gives 100. It is a base-stat comparison, not a measured result from runs.

How you get stronger in Pokelit

Several progression systems stack. Keeping them apart shows what each number on this wiki describes: base stats belong to the partner, cards last for one run, and ranks, coin upgrades and IVs are permanent.

SystemWhat it changesCheck it
Level-up cards
one run
Three choices per level: a new move, an upgrade or a boost. With the right upgrade at maximum level, some moves evolve; Ember becomes Fire Blast.Signature upgrade cards in the Pokédex
PC Box star ranks
permanent
Gacha duplicates become copies, and copies raise star rank with no cap. Each rank adds HP and damage by rarity: +4% (★1) to +12% (★5). Going from rank r to r + 1 costs r + 1 copies.Update of 20 October 2026 · formula
Coin upgrades & TMs
permanent
PokéCoins buy per-Pokémon upgrades such as Fifth Slot (300,000 coins: every run starts with 5 move slots). A Pokémon can learn up to 3 TMs; the 2nd opens at PC rank 3 and the 3rd at rank 6.27 October 2026 · 26 October 2026
IVs & IV gems
permanent
IV gems found in runs raise a Pokémon’s IV points. Moving a point to another Pokémon costs 2,000 PokéCoins.Update of 3 November 2026
Gacha & tickets
new partners
Each region has its own gacha. Tickets drop in runs; bosses and rift legendaries sometimes drop ×10 tickets. ×1 tickets also cost 600 PokéCoins (20 a day). Every 100 pulls you choose a Rare, every 200 an Epic and every 500 a Legendary. Each pull has a 1 in 100 shiny chance.21 October 2026 · 3 November 2026

Worked example: Pikachu’s PC Box ranks

Pikachu is ★2, so each rank adds 5% to its 100 in-run HP and ×1.00 attack. Speed rises 5% at ranks 5, 15 and 25; cooldowns fall 5% every 10 ranks. Card bonuses, IVs and held items come on top.

Recent Pokelit updates

The recorded log holds 381 entries across 30 days, from 7 October 2026 to 5 November 2026. A patch can change how a move or reward works without touching base HP or attack, so check the log after a break.

  1. Moves and map objects

    Many moves now break rocks, chests and grass as they should (Aura Cannon, Thunderbolt, Quick Attack and most shiny and Mega moves).

  2. Co-op and leaderboards

    New moves (beta): runs played with them no longer go on the leaderboards. (+1 more)

  3. Restarts on iPhone

    iPhone: fixed a cause of the game restarting when the level-up cards appear.

  4. Compact size

    Compact size: move effects, numbers and rings now fit your smaller Pokémon (Harden, Swords Dance and the rest). (+1 more)

Pokelit codes

Codes are published in the official Discord’s #codes channel, which lists each code with its reward, remaining uses and expiry date. Redeem one while signed in, under Settings › Promo code in the game.

The Pokelit codes guide walks through redemption and what to do when a code is unknown, already used, expired or out of uses.

  • No code needed for gifts. Timed events and gifts for everyone appear when you open the game and at the top of its News.
  • Never pay for a code. The developer says the game is free and any site that asks you to pay for tickets or coins is not theirs.
  • Codes go into the game only. Pokelit.net has no redemption form and never asks for your game login.

Pokelit questions

Where can I play Pokelit?

On the developer’s official site, pokelit.0d4y.cc, in a desktop or mobile browser. Nothing needs downloading, and you can install it as an app with your browser’s Add to Home Screen.

Is Pokelit free?

Yes. The developer describes it as a non-profit fan game with no ads or purchases. Voluntary donations pay for servers and give no in-game advantage, and gacha tickets cannot be bought with real money.

Do I need an account?

Yes, a free account is needed to play. Sign in with a name and password or with Google; progress is saved in the cloud so you can continue on another device. Players using a password can link Gmail to recover the account.

Can I play Pokelit on my phone?

Yes, in landscape. Drag anywhere to move and use the top-right button to pause. Settings › Controls › Place the buttons lets you move the on-screen buttons and fix the joystick in place.

Can I play with friends?

Online co-op takes up to 4 players. Add friends by nickname, invite them to your room and start together. Experience is shared, and you revive a fallen teammate by standing next to them. Group finding happens on the official Discord.

Does the tier list show the best Pokémon in real runs?

No. The Pokelit tier list ranks base HP × attack with a stated tie rule. Signature moves, upgrades and your build matter in a run, so open a partner’s moves before deciding. The method explains each number.

Is Pokelit.net the official site?

No. Pokelit.net is an independent fan wiki, not run by the developer. About Pokelit.net covers its sources, portrait credits and contact for corrections.
