Item Detail

Babiri-Berry

Babiri Berry is a type of Berry in the Pokémon series that provides the holder with a unique defensive advantage in battles. When a Pokémon holding a Babiri Berry is targeted by a Steel-type move, the Berry activates, reducing the damage from that attack by 50%. This effect occurs only once per battle.

Effects: 1. Damage Reduction: The primary effect of the Babiri Berry is to halve the damage taken from a Steel-type attack, potentially allowing the holder to survive an otherwise devastating hit. 2. Single Use: The Babiri Berry is consumed after it activates, meaning it can only be used once per battle.

Competitive Use and Strategies: - Type Coverage: Many Pokémon with weaknesses to Steel-type moves, such as Fairy-type Pokémon like Togekiss or Clefable, often hold a Babiri Berry to mitigate one of their critical weaknesses. - Surprise Factor: In competitive play, the Babiri Berry can serve as a surprise tactic
