Coba Berry is an item in the Pokémon series known for its defensive capabilities in battle. When held by a Pokémon, a Coba Berry will weaken the power of a super-effective Flying-type move used against the holder, reducing the damage inflicted by 50%. This makes Coba Berry particularly useful in mitigating potential one-hit knockouts from powerful Flying-type attacks, thereby giving the holder an improved chance to survive and potentially counterattack.
Effects: Upon activation, the Coba Berry weakens the damage from a super-effective Flying-type move. This defensive mechanism activates only once per battle and does not require any action from the Pokémon or the trainer; the Berry works automatically when the condition of a super-effective Flying-type move is met.
Common Uses: - Competitive Battles: Coba Berry is frequently used in competitive play, especially for Pokémon that are notably weak to Flying-type moves. For example, Grass, Bug, Fighting, and other types that do not fare well
