What Flame Orb does in PokeBonk
Your hits have a 5% chance to burn and +10% status damage. Each extra copy adds the same bonus again, up to 5. Since version 0.5.3 bonuses of the same kind add together instead of multiplying, so 5 copies give +50% status damage.
Items work on every move you carry, whatever its shape, unless the effect names a shape or a type. The pause screen shows each move's damage per second, so you can check what Flame Orb adds mid-run.
How to get Flame Orb
Chests are Poke Balls you buy with PokeDollars during a run; each one costs more than the last. A paid Poke Ball lets you pick one of three items, Great Balls from challenge altars and guardians are free, and Meowth's shop sells four offers at a time. Uncommon items show up from the start of a run.
Flame Orb is open from the start. If it keeps crowding out items you want, the Lab's Archive upgrade removes up to three items per level from chests and the shop.
