Located in Stow-on-Side, there is a bargain shop that sells rare items where the prices are not fixed.

You can buy Sharp Beak for ₽3000 if it is the Bargain of the Day.

You can only buy one item per day so it is good to visit daily. Talk to the merchant to check yesterday's, tomorrow's, and today's Bargain of the Day.

How to Use Sharp Beak

The Sharp Beak has the effect of increasing the power of Flying-type Moves by 1.2x.

This can be an alternative to choice items since it does not penalize the user in using only one move. However, it is important to note that this only affects Flying-type Moves and is recommended to be used by Flying-type Pokemon that benefit from STAB.

Sharp Beak vs Choice Item

For Flying-type Pokemon, you'll want to aim for dealing as much damage as possible, especially for those bulky Grass-type Pokemon. You may wonder if you should use Sharp Beak or either Choice Band or Choice Specs.

Advantage Disadvantage
Sharp Beak ・20% damage boost to Flying-type moves
・Can use all moves
・Only boost Flying-type moves
Choice Band or Choice Specs ・50% boost to Atk/Sp.Atk ・Locked to one move

The best choice between these items will depend on how you want to use your Pokemon.

If your Pokemon will only rely on one Flying-type move, then a Choice item will be the better option. If you think your Pokemon needs to use a coverage or any other move somewhere down the road, then let it hold Sharp Beak.
