White-Herb 
White Herb is a single-use held item in the Pokémon series that temporarily nullifies stat debuffs. When a Pokémon holding the White Herb has one or more of its stat stages lowered due to its own moves or abilities, the White Herb is consumed to restore those stats to their original levels. This does not apply to stat drops caused by the opponent.
Key uses and strategies involving the White Herb include:
-
Stat-Reset Moves: The White Herb is particularly effective when paired with moves that lower the user's own stats as part of a trade-off. For example, Shell Smash is a move that greatly increases the user's offensive stats at the cost of lowering their defensive stats. Holding a White Herb allows the user to eliminate these negative side effects and gain the boost without the drawbacks.
-
Ability Interactions: Pokémon with abilities that cause stat drops, such as Contrary, can capitalize on the White Herb. For instance, Overheat significantly reduces the user's Special Attack after use,
