Dire Hit 3 is a battle item in the Pokémon series used to increase the critical hit ratio of the user's Pokémon. When this item is used, it significantly boosts the likelihood that the next move the Pokémon uses will land a critical hit. Critical hits are powerful strikes that deal 1.5 times the normal damage and ignore any stat increases the opponent has in their Defense or Special Defense.
Effects: 1. Critical Hit Boost: Dire Hit 3 raises the user's critical hit ratio by two stages, making critical hits much more likely. 2. Duration: This effect remains active for the duration of the battle unless negated by moves or abilities that reset stat changes. 3. Stackability: The effect of Dire Hit 3 can stack with other critical hit-boosting effects, making it a valuable item for increasing offensive potential.
