Bright-Powder 
Bright Powder is a held item in the Pokémon series that decreases the opposing Pokémon's accuracy by 10% when it targets the holder in battle. This item can subtly turn the tide of a match by causing opponents to miss their crucial attacks more frequently, providing a tactical advantage to the holder.
Firstly introduced in Generation II with Pokémon Gold and Silver, Bright Powder has been a strategic option for trainers who prefer to incorporate evasion tactics into their gameplay. The effect of Bright Powder is stackable with moves and abilities that also decrease opponents' accuracy or increase the user's evasion, such as Double Team or the ability Sand Veil, making it a popular choice for evasive strategies.
While it can be immensely frustrating for opponents due to the increased likelihood of their moves missing, Bright Powder's effect is subtle compared to other accuracy-modifying strategies because it works as a flat reduction rather than offering a percentage boost to evasion. This nuance requires trainers to use it thoughtfully within broader strategies.
