Idle Poke Legend: what it is, rules and how to leave it running on your PC

What is Idle Poke Legend

Fan-made browser idle game with a Pokémon theme: the team's lead Pokémon hunts on its own, even with the player disconnected, and stores XP, gold and catches for when they return. The site highlights catching with a chance that grows with each attempt on the same species, evolution by stones dropped while hunting, the player market, clans and the ranking.

• The site mentions over 1,100 pokes to hunt, catch and evolve.
• There are 6 types of catching ball, and each broken ball adds progress to the chance of catching that species.
• Evolution is by level or by stones (Fire, Water, Thunder, Leaf and others) dropped by wild pokémon.
• The starters are Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle; the chosen one becomes the leader that hunts for the player.
• The game itself has an Auto-Helper with Auto-Potion and Auto-Revive, plus automatic Pokémon swapping on fainting.
• With the tab open nonstop, the game reloads itself after 8 hours of continuous session (warning 60 seconds before); progress is saved on the server.
• There is a buy-and-sell market between players, clans with bonuses and a ranking.
• On phone, the game asks for the screen sideways (landscape mode).
• Donations via Pix earn diamonds; according to the terms, they are non-refundable except for double charges or undelivered diamonds.
• According to the terms, players under 18 may only play and donate with authorization from their parents or guardians.

Do you need to keep the tab open?

According to the Idle Poke Legend site, the account keeps progressing with the tab closed.

The site says the lead Pokémon keeps hunting with the player offline; on return, a welcome window shows XP, gold, kills, catches and loot for the period. Seu treinador continua caçando mesmo offline. (source)

So here, keeping the tab open is more about following the account, responding to events and noticing when something goes wrong than about keeping progress.

Rules: multiple accounts, automation and VPN

What the rules published by Idle Poke Legend said on Sep 22, 2026:

• Multiple accounts: the site doesn't say. The terms don't address a limit on accounts per person or IP; they only ask that the account not be shared or sold.
• Automation (bots, macros, scripts): forbidden. The terms provide for suspension or ban for anyone using external automation (unofficial bots), cheating or exploits; the game's own automation (Auto-Helper) is part of the game. Contas que usem trapaça, bugs/exploits, automação externa (bots não oficiais), ofensas ou qualquer comportamento que prejudique outros jogadores (source)
• VPN and proxy: the site doesn't say. I found no mention of VPN or proxy on the site, in the terms or in the game files checked.
• Selling items for real money (RMT): forbidden. The terms say diamonds, pokémon, items and currency have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for money, withdrawn or taken out of the game, and ask that the account not be sold. There is a player market inside the game. não têm valor monetário real e não podem ser trocados por dinheiro, sacados ou transferidos para fora do jogo (source)

How to leave Idle Poke Legend running in IdleDeck

1. Download IdleDeck (free, Windows 10 and 11) and link the app to your IdleDeck account — it takes a minute.

3. Sign in to your Idle Poke Legend account in that window, just like in the browser. Each IdleDeck account has its own login, cookies and cache — repeat step 2 for each account the game's rules allow.
4. Turn on alerts: Windows notification, sound or a Discord webhook to know on your phone when the account drops.
5. You can minimize. Since the game progresses offline, here IdleDeck keeps the account open, organized and signed in, and alerts you when it drops or goes back to the login screen.
