Shuca Berry

Holdable Active

Summary

Shuca Berry is a held item in the Pokémon series that reduces the damage taken from a super-effective Ground-type move by 50% when the holder is hit by such a move. This situational benefit can be a game-changer, providing crucial damage mitigation in key moments of a battle.

The Shuca Berry is particularly valuable for Pokémon that have a Ground-type weakness, such as Electric- or Steel-type Pokémon. For example, Electric types like Raichu, and Magnezone, which usually fear powerful Ground-type moves like Earthquake, can hold a Shuca Berry to better endure such hits, potentially allowing them to survive and retaliate effectively.

Its strategic use in competitive play can often shift the momentum of a battle, especially in situations where predicting an opponent's move is critical. Defensive Pokémon or those designed to set up certain strategies can utilize Shuca Berry to survive a critical hit that would otherwise incapacitate them.

Additionally, Shuca Berry can be grown in the various Berry
