Item Detail

Light-Ball

Summary

Light Ball is a unique held item in the Pokémon franchise, notable for its specific interaction with Pikachu. When held by Pikachu, the Light Ball doubles both its Attack and Special Attack stats, making Pikachu significantly more powerful in battle. This item also uniquely distinguishes Pikachu from its evolved forms, Raichu and Alolan Raichu, as the benefits of the Light Ball do not extend to these evolutions.

Effects:

Stat Boost (Pikachu Specific): Light Ball doubles Pikachu's Attack and Special Attack stats, turning the typically frail and middling-power Pokémon into a much more threatening presence on the battlefield.
Breeding Effect: When two Pikachu breed while one of them holds a Light Ball, the resulting Pichu will learn the move Volt Tackle, a powerful Electric-type move exclusive to the Pikachu evolutionary line.
