Life Orb is a staple item for hyper-offensive Pokemon as it boosts its damaging moves by 30%, but deals recoil damage equal to 10% of its HP.
When building offensive Pokemon, it is a common question on which item it should hold to maximize its attacking capabilities. Life Orb and Choice Band or Choice Specs are the usual candidates for offense-boosting items.
Both of these items have advantages and disadvantages, and the better choice will boil down on what you want to achieve with your Pokemon's moveset.
| Advantage | Disadvantage | |
|---|---|---|
| Life Orb | ・30% damage boost ・Can use all moves |
・Recoil damage |
| Choice Band or Choice Scarf | ・50% boost to Atk/Spd | ・Locked to one move |
Some Abilities will ignore Life Orb's recoil damage and allow these Pokemon to safely use Life Orb.
Letting Pokemon with Sheer Force hold Life Orb will bypass the item's recoil when attacking, making it capable of dealing tremendous amounts of damage.
Additionally, Pokemon with Magic Guard will ignore Life Orb's recoil damage.
