Soul Dew
Soul Dew (Japanese: こころのしずく Soul Droplet) is a held item obtainable in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and Battle Revolution. It is found held by a wild Latios or Latias (depending on version) that resides on Hoenn's Southern Island, and it may be purchased for 14,400 Poké Coupons from the Mystery Gift shop in Pokémon Battle Revolution once the player has completed Stargazer Colosseum. It raises the Special Attack and Special Defense of Latios or Latias by 50% when held. Because of this it has been banned from official tournaments.
In the games
In HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions, if the player has received the Enigma Stone from a Nintendo Event, the player can take it to Steven Stone in the Pewter Museum of Science, who will have a researcher analyze it who finds out that it really is the Soul Dew. After he confirms it, the player will go outside the Museum with Steven Stone and will be able to battle one of the Eon Pokémon, depending on the game version (Latios in HeartGold or Latias in SoulSilver).
In the anime
In the anime, it appeared in the movie Pokémon Heroes, in which it is used to guard Johto's Alto Mare. It was given to an old couple in Alto Mare long ago after Latios and Latias saved the city. The Team Rocket duo Annie and Oakley were looking for the Soul Dew as well as the two legendary guardians of the city, Latios and Latias. If it is attached to the Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare (DMA), anyone using the device can drown the city in water, block all exits in the city and awaken the fossil Pokémon, Kabutops and Aerodactyl. It is implied that the Soul Dew contains the soul of a deceased Latios.
