Battle item: Difference between revisions

A '''battle item''' is, as its name implies, an [[item]] given to a {{obp|Pokémon|species}} during {{pkmn|battle}} to enhance its [[stats]]. Like the stat-raising effects of moves like {{m|Howl}} and {{m|Agility}}, the stat rise is only temporary. These items cannot be used on a Pokémon if the specific stat is already raised by six levels.

There are two distinct types of battle items. The basic battle items introduced in [[Generation I]] each raise a particular stat by a single level, with the exception of [[#Guard Spec.|Guard Spec.]] which protects the party from stat reductions for five turns.

A second type of battle item was introduced in [[Generation V]], and can only be used in multiplayer battles via the [[Wonder Launcher]]. Many of these items are more powerful versions of the basic battle items, raising a particular stat by 2, 3, or 6 levels, while others have an effect on the ally of the Pokémon during whose turn the items are used.

* Some Gym Leaders in [[Generation I]], as well as Trainers at the [[Petalburg Gym]], use these items. Various Trainers in {{game|Platinum}} (usually {{tc|School Kid}}s and {{tc|Scientist}}s) use them occasionally.

* In Black and White, the Japanese name of Dire Hit was changed to be one character shorter.

* Except for Dire Hit 3, the bag descriptions for the different variations of each stat-boosting battle item are identical and do not specify to what degree they raise the corresponding stat (most likely because this is evident from their names).

* The bag descriptions for Dire Hit 2 and Dire Hit 3 include the additional text "each use increases the effect", which is not present in the descriptions of the other stat-boosting Wonder Launcher items.

* There is no battle item that boosts the critical hit ratio by 6 levels.
