Increase Chances by using a Pokemon with Super Luck

We recommend bringing a Pokemon such as Absol, with the Super Luck Ability which increases the chance for Wild Pokemon to have a held item. Absol can also learn the move Thief to take the item from the opponent without the need of catching it. Just make sure Absol isn't holding any items beforehand.

Buy at the Battle Tower

Battle Tower

Mental Herb is available for purchase at the Battle Tower for 15 BP.

You need to beat Cynthia and become the champion before getting access to the Battle Tower, where you can earn BP.
