About Type-Reducing Berries

Type Protection items, primarily resistance berries, reduce damage from super-effective attacks of a specific type. These consumable items can turn a guaranteed KO into a survivable hit, enabling counterattacks and surprise defensive plays.

Resistance Berries

Each resistance berry halves damage from one super-effective type: Yache Berry (Ice), Occa Berry (Fire), Shuca Berry (Ground), Chople Berry (Fighting), etc. The berry is consumed after activating, providing a one-time defensive save.

Competitive Usage

Resistance berries create powerful surprise factors. Garchomp with Yache Berry survives Ice Beam and KOs back. Heatran with Shuca Berry tanks an Earthquake. The one-time nature means timing is critical: bluffing and reading when the opponent expects the berry adds depth.
