Macho Brace: The Power Item for Pokémon Training
The Coercive Cast in Generation III
Introduced in Generation III, the Coercive Cast is a held item that enables Pokémon to withstand attacks longer. In contrast, the Macho Brace, an item featured across various Pokémon games, serves a distinct purpose.
The Macho Brace's EV-Training Benefits
The Macho Brace excels in EV (Effort Value) training. By doubling the EVs a Pokémon receives from defeating opponents, it significantly expedites the process of enhancing Pokémon's stats. However, this advantage comes at a cost, as the Macho Brace reduces the Pokémon's Speed by 50%. In Pokémon Sword and Shield's Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra expansions, the Macho Brace remains an indispensable tool for EV-training Pokémon, making it a cornerstone item for competitive players.
