Gluttony
Gluttony is an ability in the Pokémon series that affects how a Pokémon uses its held berries. Specifically, Gluttony allows a Pokémon to consume berries at a higher HP threshold than normal. Typically, most berries that restore HP or have other effects are consumed when a Pokémon’s HP drops to 50% or lower. However, a Pokémon with Gluttony will consume these berries when its HP drops to 75% or lower, giving it an earlier and potentially more strategic usage during battles.
Effects of Gluttony:
- Earlier Berry Consumption: As mentioned, the most prominent effect of Gluttony is that it causes the Pokémon to eat berries at 75% HP or below instead of the standard 50% HP. This can prevent a Pokémon from being KO’d before it gets the benefit of its berry.
- Strategic Advantages: The earlier consumption can be particularly useful in competitive battles. It allows for better timing with berries that have pinch
Effects
- This Pokémon eats any held Berry triggered by low HP when it falls below 50% of its HP, regardless of the Berry's usual threshold.
