List of Contents

Booster Energy Effect

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Booster Energy ImageBooster Energy
Effect An item to be held by a Paradox Pokémon. Activates the Protosynthesis or Quark Drive Ability of a Paradox Pokemon which boosts its highest stat.

Activates Paradox Pokemon Abilities Without Special Conditions

Booster Energy allows Paradox Pokemon to activate either Protosynthesis or Quark Drive without the need of having harsh sunlight or Electric Terrain active in the field. This item will give Paradox Pokemon a boost to their highest stat without setting up the weather or Terrain!

Letting Paradox Pokemon hold Booster Energy removes the dependency of Paradox Pokemon to rely on setups to get their stat boosts as they will immediately use the item after they are sent out.

How to Get All Paradox Pokemon

Does Not Stack With Active Sunlight or Electric Terrain

In Singles, sending out a Paradox Pokemon holding a Booster Energy while sunlight or Electric Terrain is already in play will not activate the item, as the Ability itself will be activated first.

Does Not Work on Regular Pokemon

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV) - Booster Energy Not Working on Regular Pokemon

Booster Energy will not work if it is held by regular Pokemon, even if harsh sunlight or Electric Terrain is set up in the field.

How to Get Booster Energy
