Wacan-Berry 
Wacan Berry is a held item in the Pokémon series that serves a strategic purpose in both casual and competitive battles. When a Pokémon holding a Wacan Berry is hit by a super-effective Electric-type move, the Berry is consumed, reducing the damage of that move by 50%. This can be crucial in situations where a Pokémon is particularly vulnerable to Electric-type attacks, providing an opportunity to either survive the hit or set up a counter-strategy.
The Wacan Berry is particularly useful for Pokémon that have a 4x weakness to Electric-type moves, such as Gyarados, which is Water/Flying-type. By holding a Wacan Berry, Gyarados can withstand an Electric attack that would otherwise likely knock it out, allowing it to retaliate or switch to a more favorable matchup.
