Payapa-Berry 
Payapa Berry is a held item in the Pokémon series that provides significant utility in both casual and competitive play. When a Pokémon holding a Payapa Berry is hit by a super effective Psychic-type move, the damage from that attack is halved, potentially allowing the holder to survive what would otherwise be a knockout blow. This effect is triggered only once per berry.
One of the key strategic uses of the Payapa Berry is to mitigate the threat of Psychic-type moves, particularly against Pokémon that are weak to Psychic, such as Fighting- or Poison-type Pokémon. For example, a Poison-type Pokémon like Venusaur might hold a Payapa Berry to better handle Psychic-type opponents, creating opportunities to retaliate or set up a strategy without being immediately taken out of the battle.
In addition to its in-battle effects, Payapa Berries can be grown in certain Pokémon games where berry farming is available. These berries can also be used to make Pokéblocks or Poffins in games like Pokémon
