Hondew Berry
Summary
Hondew Berry is an item in the Pokémon series primarily utilized for reducing a Pokémon's Effort Values (EVs) and increasing its friendship level. Specifically, it lowers a Pokémon's Special Attack EVs by 10 points when consumed. This can be particularly useful for trainers looking to reset or readjust their Pokémon’s EV distribution to optimize their stats for competitive battling or specific in-game challenges.
In addition to its EV-reducing properties, the Hondew Berry plays a significant role in nurturing a Pokémon’s relationship with its trainer. When a Pokémon consumes the Hondew Berry, its friendship level increases, making it more affectionate and, in some cases, unlocking certain evolutionary paths or enhancing in-battle benefits such as the move Return's power.
Beyond these functional aspects, the Hondew Berry can also be used in various in-game locations and contexts, such as making Pokéblocks or Poffins, which are used in Pokémon Contests and Super Contests to enhance
