Lum Berry Competitive Analysis

A Pokemon holding Lum Berry will automatically heal any status condition on its own if it is inflicted by one. This item is a safety net for physical and speedy attackers in case they are inflicted with a burn or paralysis, which reduce the Attack and Speed respectively.

Lum Berry Strategies

As Lum Berry can heal any status conditions, it can be used on a variety of strategies involving self-inflicting status conditions.

Rest and Lum Berry

Bulky Pokemon can hold Lum Berry and use it with Rest to immediately wake up, making it a very formidable tank that will be difficult to take down.

Swagger and Lum Berry

In Doubles, you can have a Pokemon with Swagger use the move on its allied physical attacker holding a Lum Berry. This allows it to power up its offensive potential even more without the hindrance of being confused.
