What Snowball does in PokeBonk
Your hits have a 6% chance to chill (three chills freeze) and +3 armor. 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 +15 armor.
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 Snowball adds mid-run.
How to get Snowball
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.
Snowball 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.
