    Wow this tier list is outdated, do not use this list, just read the goddamn ability descriptions in game and look at example sets

    Agreed 👍 too nich

    Rescue Hood should be in B tier. Too niche and 10% is not a big deal. The only mon that can truly make the most of it is Comfey. The fact that only healings and shields applied to other pokemon and not to itself are affected is a huge downgrade. Many other items are better choices. I would have loved to see new bulky sets for Self-healers/shielders like Tsareena, Scizor, Trevenant etc... In that case that would have been a solid S tier.

    Where's the tier list?

    22 Anonymous Anonymous about 3 yearsReport

    it should at least be A tier.

    21 Anonymous Anonymous about 3 yearsReport

    Energy amplifier shouldn't be a B tier no more, more pokemon are getting lower CD unite moves and it's CDR bonus is super good for pokemon that have moves that can be spammed constantly likes Venusaurs petal dance or delphoxs fire spin and mystical fire.

    Does the position of the held items matters? Does anybody knows?

    Cookie weight is for squishy pokemon. Like Alolan birb and Alolan fox and Pikachu and cramorant but stacking with squishy mons at the start are hard

    Those are slowbrow held items!

    15 Dexter9933 Dexter9933 almost 4 yearsReport

    OMG I forgot about the focus band. Pair that with wise glasses and rocky helmet.

    14 Dexter9933 Dexter9933 almost 4 yearsReport

    Also surf slowbrow with amnisia and a potion with a rocky helmet, sp. attack specs and score shield is broken. It just does not die

    13 Dexter9933 Dexter9933 almost 4 yearsReport

    It is a good irem for meelee defenders and all - rounders.

    Score shield S is is SOOO useful for sneak scores.

    Not showing item descriptions is really annoying. Why? Why is there no item descriptions on the items page? Who thought it was a good idea to have 2 full lists of items and not one of them is item descriptions?

    Razor Claw out-damages Scope Lens consistently on every Physical mon but Absol, 95% of the time (barring 3 crits). Both in 10 second dps test and 2 minute test against training dummy. Hence it is always higher than Scope lens in ranking. ESPECIALLY since sporadic fights and poking make rhe item stronger due to its Proc nature on the contrary to Scope Lens' Passive stat increase. Also Score Shield is S tier. Shields are everywhere and Superjump doesn't interrupt its scoring either. #GoalsWinGames

    That's the dumbest thing an "authoritative" figure of any guidesite has done in a while. Wigglytuff is SPECIAL pokemon while W.Policy ONLY buffs ATTACK stat. You LITERALLY even linked game8's own proof for this argument. There is no world where running W.Policy on 'Tuff is better than Float Stone. At least the latter gives Movement Speed which helps Sing coverage.

    Hello! Generally, we recommend All-Rounders for Weakness Policy. However, Pokemon like Crustle and Wigglytuff have great synergy with the item, we definitely recommend Weakness Policy for them. We encourage you to visit our Weakness Policy page. We have a section that shows the Best Pokemon for Weakness Policy. We do this for all Held Items and Battle Items.
