Summary

Room Service is a held item introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield. When held by a Pokémon, Room Service lowers the holder's Speed stat by one stage whenever Trick Room is activated on the field. This item is particularly useful in Trick Room teams, which are designed to reverse the usual turn order, causing slower Pokémon to move before faster ones for five turns.

By lowering the holder's Speed stat, Room Service allows the Pokémon to benefit even more from the Trick Room effect, ensuring it will move earlier in the turn order compared to opponents who haven't had their Speed reduced. This can be strategically advantageous in battles where positioning and timing are critical.

Interesting facts about Room Service include: - It is part of a niche but effective strategy often seen in Trick Room-centric teams. - Room Service synergizes well with Pokémon that naturally have high Attack or Special Attack but low Speed, such as Rhyperior, Reuniclus, and Hatterene. - Unlike other items that activate based on conditions
