How PokéSurvivor works
A browser survival game built around movement, automatic attacks, deliberate switching, and repeated level-up choices.
PokéSurvivor places your chosen partner on an endless map while wild Pokémon close in from every direction. You control movement and positioning. The game controls the timing of attacks, but it does not fire every learned move at once. Only the move in the active slot attacks automatically, so changing slots with the keyboard, a click, or a tap is an important part of play.
Defeated enemies leave experience. Collect enough and you choose one of three reward cards. A card can teach a new move, improve a move you already know, or strengthen your Pokémon for the current run. Moves have four upgrade steps after level 1. Most damaging moves can then evolve at level 5 if you have also taken their required run-stat card at least once.
The game supports desktop browsers and mobile or tablet play in landscape orientation. The published online version adds cloud-backed accounts, friends, rooms, leaderboards, and co-op for groups of up to four. The downloadable or local fallback version is solo and stores named-account progress only in that browser.

- Automatic systems
- The active move fires when its cooldown and targeting rules allow it.
- Run growth
- Experience leads to new moves, move levels, and temporary stat cards.
- Long-term growth
- PokéCoins buy permanent upgrades separately for each Pokémon.

Compare starters
Stats are game-specific. Higher values do not prove that a partner is stronger in every run.
Check a move evolution
Move evolution is not Pokémon form evolution. In the pinned version, an eligible damaging move must reach level 5 and its required stat card must have been taken in your current run. When several evolutions are ready, the first ready candidate is guaranteed into the next level-up offer while other ready candidates remain weighted options.
This quick lookup shows the verified requirement and then opens the dedicated evolution page. It does not duplicate the full checker or promise that an incomplete move can evolve.
Use the game databases
Each database has a separate job, so you can move from a Pokémon to its move and then to the matching evolution rule.

Open the official game
Use the developer's published browser version for cloud accounts, co-op, friends, and leaderboards. The guide's Play Official Game buttons always leave this site.
Choose or accept a partner
The personality test can suggest one of 29 starters, and the result can be rejected if you want to choose another. Your partner supplies the starting stats and first move.
Move before the crowd closes
Use WASD or arrow keys on desktop, or drag on a landscape touch screen. Your active move attacks automatically while you concentrate on spacing and safe routes.
Collect experience and read the cards
Level-up choices are not interchangeable. A new move fills a slot, a move upgrade advances one move toward level 5, and a stat card changes the current run.
Switch moves for the situation
Use 1-4, Q or E, a click, or a tap to change the active slot. Later, bonds can place several moves in one slot so that the bonded group fires together.
Bank progress with the right save mode
A published account writes a local cache and syncs to the cloud. A guest session is temporary and disappears when you leave or reload.
