Kee Berry is a consumable item introduced in Generation VI of the Pokémon series. When a Pokémon holding the Kee Berry is hit with a physical move, the Kee Berry is consumed, and the holder's Defense stat is raised by one stage. This effect can be particularly valuable in battle scenarios where the holder is facing physically offensive threats, enabling the Pokémon to withstand subsequent physical attacks more effectively.
Additionally, the Kee Berry works well in combination with other strategies that involve boosting stats or compensating for a Pokémon's weaker defense. For example, Pokémon with the ability "Unburden" can consume the berry and double their Speed, making Kee Berry a niche yet powerful tool in the right situation.
The item is not reusable; once it is consumed, it is gone until the end of the battle. However, many Pokémon can benefit from its one-time effect, especially defensive or physically frail Pokémon looking for a boost in their staying power.
Interesting to note, the Kee Berry's name is derived from
