Talk:In-battle effect item
Iron Ball
Why is there a point of having an Iron Ball? The only thing that makes it useful is that it gives the most power on the move Fling... Tesh 12:26, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- Trick also combos nicely with it. --DarkfireTaimatsu 19:28, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- You could have the Pokémon holding it use Trick Room and then the Speed cut would become a good thing. Shiny Noctowl 19:39, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Oh, it just seems like a pointless object. Never mind. Tesh 19:48, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Black Sludge
I've always wondered, is there any advantage to using Black Sludge on a Poison-type Pokémon as opposed to Leftovers? Blink 17:37 16 August 2007 (GMT)
- You could use Trick or Switcheroo. Or, if the opponent uses Thief, Covet, Trick, or Switcheroo on the first turn because they don't know what you're holding, and they aren't a Poison-type, they will get hurt. --Shiny Noctowl 16:48, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Or, if you're required to give each Pokémon a different hold item, it's the equivalent of being able to use 2 Leftovers. Zurqoxn 00:04, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- I see. I thought it might restore a little more health or something.

Choice Specs
...the man gives out the Choice Specs during the morning, right? Because I just went to him and he talked about BlackGlasses instead. Is 10:35 REALLY not considered morning, or does the time period for BlackGlasses-giveaway happens to be at 10?
...on the other hand, when does the Specs giveaway start and end?

- The Choice Specs are from 8:00 PM to 3:59 AM, so at night. File:164sMS.pngShiny?! 13:37, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
Focus Band/Focus Sash
Do they let you have 1HP left even if you're hit by a OHKO attack, such as Sheer Cold? File:164sMS.pngShiny?! 13:38, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
Wide Lens
How much does it raise accuracy by? 20%? 30%? TTEchidna

20% TESHIGIGAS 22:21, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Nope, 60% . It's a 20% increase. (50 / 10 = 5. 5 × 2 = 10. 50 + 10 = 60%) TESHIGIGAS 16:13, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- Is that taken into account before or after an ability?(i.e. Compoundeyes)
- I'm not sure about that, but I'm guessing that it is done before an ability. TESHIGIGAS

White Herb
Does a white herb, after curing status, get consumed, or is it reusable? Zapdos 18:04, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- It is consumed. TESHIGIGAS 18:05, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Leftovers under sleeping Snorlax in FR/LG.
Do you need to find this before the Snorlax wakes up?
I've also heard of items being under certain key people in the game, but I've never found them in FR or LG. And I'm an Itemfinder fiend, running it nearly constantly. Machinedramon 19:15, 8 May 2008 (UTC) There's a Soothe Bell under where Mr. Fuji was in Pokémon Tower, and a Macho Brace where Giovanni was standing in the gym. And a Sacred Ash under where Ho-Oh perched. I'm Missingno. Master, and I approve this message. 19:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
If you have 2 exp.shares in your party do they get 1/3 of the exp or do they both get 1/2? ie. would it be practical to have 5 exp.share's if your first one can ohko almost all? Keirou 01:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- If two Pokémon are holding Exp. Shares, the experience is divided in thirds, then distributed 1/3 to one holder, 1/3 to the other, and the remaining 1/3 is distributed among whoever battled. Having 5 of your Pokémon hold Exp. Shares would be the equivalent of having an Exp. All. TTEchidna 07:56, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Smoke Ball
Does it work on Pokémon with ability such as shadow tag or arena trap or of the Pokémon used mean look before you decide to press run? TheBlazikenMaster 03:25, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
