Summary

Ganlon Berry is a type of Berry in the Pokémon series with a distinct effect in battles. When a Pokémon holding a Ganlon Berry's HP drops to 25% or below, the Berry is consumed, and the holder's Defense stat is increased by one stage. This boost can be crucial in tight situations, allowing the Pokémon to better withstand subsequent physical attacks.

Interesting Facts: 1. Generational Availability: The Ganlon Berry was introduced in Generation III and has been available in subsequent Pokémon games. 2. Stat Boost Mechanic: The Berry's defensive boost can be strategically useful for defensive or tank builds, giving these Pokémon an additional edge in withstanding physical assaults. 3. Usage in Competitive Play: While not as commonly used as some other Berries like the Sitrus or Lum Berry, the Ganlon Berry can surprise opponents and turn the tide of battle, particularly in formats where trick or situational strategies are prevalent. 4. **Ac
