Best Items in Pokémon Scarlet

Pokemon Scarlet has a plethora of unique items that can prove real game-changers for players. Finding and collecting these items is one way to put your Pokemon team ahead of the competition. These items range in their function and how they improve your Pokemon, but each has its own purpose. So if you are someone who has been curious about some of the best items in the game, we have you covered. Without further ado, here are the Best Items in Pokémon Scarlet.

5. Life Orb

Starting off today's list of the best items in Pokemon Scarlet, we have the Life Orb. The Life Orb allows players to have their Pokemon hold this item. In doing so, the Pokemon holding the item will see a massive increase in the power of their damaging moves. This makes it a really sought-after item in the game. That said, this isn't an item without its drawbacks. As it does also take a life tax of around ten percent from the Pokemon holding it. However, if you are simply looking to boost your Pokemon‘s damage, then this will increase it by around thirty percent.

This makes this item great for players who like to have tons of sweepers on their team. As far as acquiring the Life Orb, players can simply visit the Delibird shop in Mesagoza. Doing this is the simplest way of obtaining the item, although there are other methods. So if you are looking to have a team capable of sweeping your opponents, then this item certainly can help accomplish this task. All around, the Life Orb is one of the best items in Pokemon Scarlet that players should no doubt take advantage of.

4. Mirror Herb

Following up our last entry with another fantastic item for players to use in Pokemon Scarlet, here we have the Mirror Herb. For those unaware, the Mirror Herb has different effects in and out of battle, which makes it rather unique. In battle, it allows players to essentially copy the stat boost of an opponent's Pokemon a single time. While this may seem like something that can be easily overlooked by players, it can absolutely be devastating in the right circumstances. However, that is far from the only ability that Mirror Herb has, as it also has out-of-battle effects that are quite interesting.

One of the greatest aspects of Mirror Herb is its ability to allow players to have their Pokemon learn Egg moves without breeding. This is great, as oftentimes the breeding process can be slow and tedious. And circumventing this fact is something that can really come in handy for the player. For these reasons, holding this item is a great thing to have your Pokemon do. No matter what reason you choose to have this item, it surely pays off, making it one of the best items in Pokemon Scarlet.

3. Leftovers

For the next entry on our list of the best items in Pokemon Scarlet, we have Leftovers. This is an item that can be held by your Pokemon to replenish their health in-between turns. This can prove really useful for players who simply wish to gain a small amount of health back. Specifically, the item allows the Pokemon holding it to replenish one-sixteenth of their overall health per turn. This might not seem like a lot at first glance, however, it can quickly add up to a sizable amount over time. This makes it a great item for sustaining your Pokemon.

As with the Life Orb item, players are able to purchase Leftovers from the Delibird Shop. This can be acquired for a relatively low fee as well, making it a great item for players to pick up early to use. Additionally, for players looking for alternative ways to obtain this item, players can trade Gimnighoul coins for the item as well. This makes it a lot easier, and less expensive to obtain the item, which is great for newer players. All in all, Leftovers is one of the best items in Pokemon Scarlet.

2. Focus Sash

Switching things up quite a bit for our next entry, here we have Focus Sash. Focus Sash is an item that can be held by a Pokemon that has a number of effects. One of the best aspects of the Focus Sash is that there isn't really a limit on how many of these items you can purchase. That means essentially if you want to stack your team with Focus Sashs you absolutely can. The item itself costs fifty thousand bucks in-game, however, so be ready to cough up a considerable amount of money to fully equip your team.

As with other times on this list, you can also purchase this item from the Delibird shop in Mesagoza. For players looking for the effect of Focus Sash, it is relatively simple but can deceive many opponents. In short, it allows the player to not be affected by self-inflicted confusion. And players who are hit with a multi-turn move should also note that it doesn't necessarily save you from those either. While it may be a tad situational, Focus Sash is still one of the best items in Pokemon Scarlet.

1. Covert Cloak

Rounding out our list of the best items in Pokemon Scarlet, we have Covert Cloak. Covert Cloak is an item that has many uses but primarily allows the user to accomplish a few things. The most prominent ability of this item is to allow your Pokemon to be immune to the secondary effects of enemy Pokemon. This can be immensely useful for when you are fighting a more technical Pokemon with tons of status effect moves and the like. However, that is hardly all that the Covert Cloak has to offer.

For players looking to nab this cloak, there are quite a few ways to go about it. One of the easiest ways is to simply go to the Delibird store in Levinicia, there you will be able to purchase this item right away. Additionally, however, you can also find this item tucked behind the Sushi shop in Montenevera,  either way, if you obtain the item, it can quickly pay off greatly. This, and much more makes Covert Cloak one of the best items in Pokemon Scarlet.
