Soul Dew: Difference between revisions

'''Soul Dew''' (Japanese: '''こころのしずく''' ''Soul Droplet'') is a [[held item]] obtainable in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and [[Pokémon Battle Revolution|Battle Revolution]]. It is found held by a wild {{p|Latios}} or {{p|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 {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} of Latios or Latias by 50% when held. Because of this rather incredible boost (compare [[In-battle_effect_item#Choice_items|Choice Specs]] which lock moves for a 50% Special Attack boost, or [[Gem|Gems]] which are consumed after giving a 50% boost), it has been banned from official tournaments. If used in the [[Battle Tower]], [[Battle Hall]] or [[Battle Subway]], the Soul Dew's effect is nulled out. Because [[Poké Transfer]] bars the transport of Pokémon with held items to {{game|Black and White}}, the Soul Dew is currently unobtainable in [[Generation V]] through any [[cheating|legitimate means]].

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, if the {{player}} has received the [[Enigma Stone]] from a [[event item|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 ({{p|Latios}} in HeartGold or {{p|Latias}} in SoulSilver).

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it appeared in the movie ''[[M05|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 {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]] were looking for the Soul Dew as well as the two legendary guardians of the city, {{mov|Latios|Latios|5}} and {{mov|Latias|Latias|5}}. 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, {{p|Kabutops}} and {{p|Aerodactyl}}. It is implied that the Soul Dew contains the soul of a deceased Latios.

 

* Due to being unable to transfer held items via [[Poké Transfer]], and no means of obtaining the items being in {{game|Black and White|s}}, the Soul Dew and {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}} are currently unobtainable in [[Generation V]].
