Tatsugiri-Scales is a rare and unique held item in the Pokémon series. When held, Tatsugiri-Scales provides a significant boost to the user's evasiveness, increasing the likelihood that opponent's moves will miss during battle. This makes it particularly useful for Pokémon that rely on avoiding hits to stay competitive in longer matches. Furthermore, the unintended side effect includes a modest reduction in movement speed, reflecting the added weight and bulk of the scales.
The origins of Tatsugiri-Scales are tied to the mystical Tatsugiri Pokémon, known for their resplendent and iridescent scales. In the Pokémon folklore, these scales were said to provide protective energy, which inspired the creation of this item. Observers have noted that the aesthetic changes they confer can be quite distinct, often influencing the appearance of the Pokémon holding them, giving their coat or skin a slight shimmer.
This item finds its strategic use primarily in battles where evasion tactics are central. Pokémon like
