Permanent upgrades

How many starting items can I bring, and are they consumed?

The short answer

Bring 2 by default, or 3 after a Lab upgrade. Backpack items are consumed when brought into a run and can be replenished through quests, achievements, guilds, treasure or the shop. Select them on the preparation screen before starting.

Choose for this run’s goal

Rare Candy adds 2 levels, Lucky Egg supports experience gains and Amulet Coin supports ₽ income. Honey adds an Alpha, Shiny Stone helps find a Shiny, and Master Ball guarantees capture.

Check the exact scope on the item description. Causing a Shiny encounter and successfully catching that Shiny are separate steps.

Plan shop purchases

The shop has daily purchase limits, and buying more copies of an item on the same day increases its price. Distinguish next-run consumables from items found in Poké Balls during a run.
