Tanga-Berry 
Tanga Berry is a single-use held item in the Pokémon series that provides a strategic advantage in battles. Specifically, when a Pokémon holding a Tanga Berry is hit by a Bug-type move, the power of that move is reduced by 50%. This can be particularly useful for Pokémon that have a weakness to Bug-type moves, mitigating potential damage from opponents leveraging this type advantage.
Effects: - Damage Reduction: When a Bug-type attack is aimed at the holder, the Tanga Berry activates and halves the damange of that attack, potentially preventing a one-hit knockout.
Other Interesting Facts: - Competitive Play: The Tanga Berry is often used in competitive battling to protect Psychic, Grass, and Dark-type Pokémon, which are typically vulnerable to Bug-type moves. - Strategic Use: Trainers can use Tanga Berry to create unexpected durability in various Pokémon, allowing time for counterattacks or setup moves. - Berries in Strategy: Like other type
