X-Defense 
X-Defense is a consumable item found in the mainline Pokémon games. When used during battle, it temporarily boosts the Defense stat of the Pokémon by one stage. This increase in Defense helps the Pokémon to take less damage from physical attacks for the duration of the battle.
Effect Summary: - Immediately raises a Pokémon's Defense stat by one stage (an increase by 50% in comparison to the base Defense stat). - The boost only lasts for the duration of the battle in which it is used.
Usage: - X-Defense is typically used in battles against physically inclined opponents where increased survivability is necessary. - Commonly used in-game by players during tough battles against Gym Leaders, Elite Four members, or other particularly challenging trainers. - Non-effective in competitive play as the use of items like X-Defense is restricted.
Acquisition: - The item can usually be purchased from Poké Marts or found throughout the game world in various Pokémon titles.
