Colbur-Berry 
Colbur Berry is a held item in the Pokémon series that specifically mitigates the damage from a Dark-type move. When the holder is hit by a Dark-type attack, the Colbur Berry is consumed, and the damage from that attack is halved, providing a significant defensive advantage. This effect allows Pokémon to better handle certain matchups where they would otherwise be at a disadvantage due to their weaknesses.
Key Effects: 1. Halves Dark-type Damage: The primary function of the Colbur Berry is to reduce the damage taken from a single Dark-type move by half when the Pokémon holding it is hit. 2. Single-use Item: The berry is consumed after the first Dark-type attack it mitigates, meaning it can only be used once per battle.
Strategic Use in Competitive Play: 1. Type Coverage: Pokémon that are weak to Dark-type moves, such as Psychic-types (like Alakazam) and Ghost-types (like Gengar), often
