Yache Berry is a type of Berry designed to reduce the effectiveness of super-effective Ice-type attacks on the Pokémon holding it. When a Pokémon bearing a Yache Berry is hit by an Ice-type move, the power of that move is halved, allowing the Pokémon to endure the attack better than it normally would.
Effects: - When a Pokémon holding a Yache Berry is targeted by an Ice-type move, the Berry is consumed, and the damage taken from that move is halved.
Common Uses: - Competitive Battling: Yache Berries are commonly utilized in competitive Pokémon battling, especially on Pokémon that have a significant weakness to Ice-type moves. This can include Dragon, Grass, Ground, and Flying-type Pokémon. By holding a Yache Berry, these Pokémon can potentially survive critical hits that would otherwise knock them out. - Strategic Play: Trainers may use Yache Berries to catch opponents off guard, allowing key Pokémon to stay in play longer
