A move slot and an extra choice are different upgrades
Both cards were read in Lab → Upgrades on a fresh Guest. Their effects below are the displayed descriptions; no purchase or combat outcome was tested.
| Card | First price | What the card changes |
|---|---|---|
| 4th move | 1,500 Stardust | Unlocks the fourth move slot. |
| Fourth option | 3,000 Stardust | Level-ups offer four options. |
Check capacity and usefulness together
Before spending, inspect the moves you already own and the next one you hope to add. Ask what the extra attack would contribute. If you cannot name that purpose yet, read the move reference first; more capacity does not explain which combination you want.
An additional choice can be useful for a different reason: it may help you choose among directions. However, a choice-related tool is not a promise that a particular desired card will appear. Keep the goal precise so you do not pay for a different kind of improvement than the one you intended.
Budget for the card you actually need
For a first 4th move purchase in the observed version, use the planner’s 4th move lookup to fill 1,500. With a hypothetical balance of 900, the shortfall is 600 Stardust.
Fourth option is a different 3,000-Stardust goal. Extra choices do not themselves provide another move slot. Check your current Lab card before spending.
- Open the original Lab and find the exact named card.
- Read whether the relevant level is already owned.
- Copy the current remaining price into the planner.
- Confirm any visible prerequisite in the game before purchasing.
Check the result in the game
After any purchase, verify the actual capacity or offer behavior in the original interface. Update the planner’s balance and remove the completed target. The planner will not automatically detect the purchase.
If a desired move still has not appeared, follow the move-learning checklist for its eligibility and current run conditions. The absence of one card does not, by itself, show that a capacity purchase failed.
Which PokeBonk fourth upgrade belongs in your plan?
For another attack slot, look for PokeBonk’s 4th move card, observed at 1,500 Stardust for its first purchase. For another level-up choice, inspect Fourth option, observed at 3,000. Put the exact card name into your budget so you save toward the intended effect. Neither PokeBonk upgrade guarantees that a particular desired move will appear in your next offer.
Frequently asked questions
Does Fourth option unlock a fourth move?
No. The observed v0.7.1 cards describe separate effects: 4th move unlocks the fourth move slot; Fourth option makes level-ups offer four options.
How do I unlock the PokeBonk fourth move slot?
Inspect Lab → Upgrades → 4th move, observed at 1,500 Stardust in v0.7.1. Read the current card in your own game; Fourth option is a separate purchase for more level-up choices.
