How to Get Ring Target

Purchase at the Stow-on-Side Bargain Shop

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

You can buy Ring Target 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 Ring Target

The Ring Target negates the holder's immunities to moves granted by their typing. This means that a Ghost-type Pokemon holding this item will get hit by Normal-type Moves.

Due to the debilitating nature of the held item, it has little use outside of niche builds that use the moves Trick or Switcheroo to give the ring target to the opponent.
