# A short PokeBonk glossary

- **League**: where your other starters go after you complete their challenge and capture them in a run.
- **Ultimate**: your big move (R on desktop); its tier follows your evolution stage.
- **Banish**: a level-up option on Z that asks you to press again to confirm. Refresh (F) and Skip (X) sit next to it.
- **Guardian**: the boss you wake in each Classic zone after opening Poké Balls; it opens the portal onward.
- **Clan points**: earned by every valid run of a clan member, more on Hard and Nightmare.
