Recycle Move Detail
Recycle is a Normal-type move with no power or accuracy values as it is a status move. This move allows the user to regain and reuse a held item that was previously consumed in battle. Recycle is often used strategically to restore valuable consumables like Berries, which can help in healing HP, curing status conditions, or activating other item-triggered effects multiple times in a single battle. Notably, Recycle is ineffective if used by a Pokémon that has not yet consumed its held item or if the item is permanently lost due to moves like Knock Off or abilities like Unnerve. This move provides a unique tactical advantage in prolonged battles, particularly in competitive play.
