The Weakness Policy (じゃくてんほけん) item will be distributed to players. It is an item that can be held by a Pokémon to sharply increase the Attack and Special Attack if the holder is hit with a move it's weak to. It will also be possible to have the O-Powers Exp. Point Power Max (けいけんちパワー MAX), which doubles the amount of Exp. Points received after a battle, and Bargain Power MAX (やすうりパワー MAX), which halves all shop prices, activated in your games. These powers last for 60 minutes each after being activated.
