Babiri Berry is a type of Berry in the Pokémon series primarily known for its defensive properties. When held by a Pokémon, the Babiri Berry weakens the damage taken from a supereffective Steel-type move. This effect can be crucial in competitive battles where type matchups play a significant role in determining the outcome.
Effects: - Reduces the damage from a supereffective Steel-type attack by half when held by a Pokémon. - Can be consumed once per battle, after which its effects are nullified until replenished.
Common Uses: - Competitive Battling: Trainers often equip their Pokémon with a Babiri Berry to mitigate the risks against prominent Steel-type moves, which can be particularly threatening to Pokémon with typing that is weak to Steel. - Defense Strategies: The Berry is strategically employed to ensure a Pokémon can survive a potentially fatal Steel-type attack, allowing it to retaliate or execute a planned strategy without being knocked out prematurely.
