Haban-Berry 
Haban Berry is a held item in the Pokémon series that provides critical defensive support in battle. When a Pokémon holding a Haban Berry is hit by a super-effective Dragon-type move, the damage from that move is reduced by half. This can be crucial in competitive play, where Dragon-type moves are common and often extremely powerful.
In contests, Haban Berry does not influence gameplay, but it can be converted into Pokéblocks or Poffins to enhance a Pokémon's condition, particularly benefiting stats like Beauty or Coolness.
Introduced in Generation IV, Haban Berry belongs to a category of berries known as type-resist berries, which are specifically designed to mitigate the damage from super-effective hits of various types. It has a natural growth cycle in the games where it can be planted and harvested, contributing to the strategic management of resources for trainers.
One of the interesting aspects of Haban Berry is its strategic placement on Pokémon that are not necessarily Dragon-type but have a significant weakness
