What Metronome does in PokeBonk
You gain damage while you take no hits (up to +40%). Each extra copy adds the same bonus again, up to 10. Since version 0.5.3 bonuses of the same kind add together instead of multiplying.
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 Metronome adds mid-run.
How to get Metronome
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.
Metronome is one of the 35 items you must unlock: survive 10 minutes in a run. Then buy it in the Lab for 200 Stardust. The PokeBonk Stardust guide lists the cheapest unlocks first.
