Orthworm Tarnish

Orthworm-Tarnish is a unique item in the Pokémon series, introduced to provide strategic advantages in battles. When held by a Pokémon, Orthworm-Tarnish has the following effects:

1. Stat Boost: Orthworm-Tarnish enhances the holder’s Defense and Special Defense stats by 50%. This makes it particularly useful for Pokémon that already have relatively high defensive capabilities, further solidifying their role as defensive walls or tanks in battle.

2. Poison Immunity: The item grants the holder immunity to poison-type moves and the poisoned status effect. This is particularly beneficial in competitive play where status conditions can severely hinder a Pokémon's longevity in battle.

3. Damage Reflection: An interesting aspect of Orthworm-Tarnish is its ability to reflect a small portion (10%) of direct physical damage back to the attacker. This makes it useful not only for tanking hits but also for subtly chipping away at the opponent’s HP over time.
