A Scarf (Japanese: バンダナ bandanna) is a type of held item introduced in Generation III. They boost the condition of a Pokémon. In the games, they are unobtainable in Generation V and from Generation VII onward, except for in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

Mechanics

Does the percentage boost in Sinnoh apply to the base condition or the final score? Is there an upper limit that the boost cannot exceed in DPPt?

In a Pokémon Contest, Contest Spectacular, Super Contest, or Super Contest Show, if a Pokémon is holding a Scarf whose corresponding condition matches the contest's condition, that condition will be boosted. In Contests and Contest Spectaculars, this boost is a flat increase of 20; in Super Contests and Super Contest Shows, it is a percentage increase of 10%. In Contests and Super Contests (but not Contest Spectaculars or Super Contest Shows), if the Scarf's corresponding condition instead matches either one of the contest's secondary conditions, that condition will be boosted by half of the aforementioned amounts.

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, a condition that is boosted by a Scarf cannot go above 255.

Acquisition

In Hoenn and Sinnoh, there are NPCs who will give away a Scarf if shown a Pokémon with at least 200 in the Scarf's corresponding condition. They will only give away each type of Scarf once. In Hoenn, this NPC is the Pokémon Fan Club Chairman in Slateport City. In Sinnoh, it is the Scarf Guy in Pastoria City.

In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Orre, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, and Kalos the Scarves are only obtainable via trade.
