Summary

Oval Charm is a special Key Item in the Pokémon series that significantly impacts the breeding mechanics within the game. This item, when held by the player, increases the likelihood of Pokémon eggs appearing at the Pokémon Nursery. Specifically, it boosts the chances of an egg being produced whenever the player leaves two compatible Pokémon at the Nursery, thereby facilitating more efficient and faster breeding.

The Oval Charm was first introduced in the fifth generation of Pokémon games (Pokémon Black and White). To obtain the Oval Charm, players typically need to complete a specific in-game achievement, such as completing the entire Pokédex or a significant portion of it. For example, in Pokémon Sword and Shield, players receive the Oval Charm after defeating a character named Morimoto in a battle at Circhester's hotel.

Another interesting aspect is that the Oval Charm is designed primarily for trainers who engage in competitive breeding. It helps streamline the process of producing eggs, which is essential for obtaining Pokémon with desirable traits, IVs, natures,

Effect
