How to Use Luminous Moss

Luminous Moss raises its holder's Special Defense when hit by a Water-type move. The item is then consumed.

Luminous Moss is suitable for Pokemon that is vulnerable to Water-type moves and need a bit more protection from special Water-type attacks like Hydro Pump.

Assault Vest can be a good alternative but do take note that the holder will not be able to use status moves if this item is held.
