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 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.
