What Repel does in PokeBonk
-8% enemies and +6% speed. For when the horde closes in. Each extra copy adds the same bonus again, up to 3. Since version 0.5.3 bonuses of the same kind add together instead of multiplying, so 3 copies give -24% enemyAmount and +18% speed.
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 Repel adds mid-run.
How to get Repel
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.
Repel is one of the 35 items you must unlock: play 3 runs. Then buy it in the Lab for 150 Stardust. The PokeBonk Stardust guide lists the cheapest unlocks first.
