Summary

SilverPowder is a held item in the Pokémon series, primarily designed to enhance the effectiveness of Bug-type moves. When a Pokémon holds SilverPowder, the power of its Bug-type moves increases by 20%. This boost can be crucial in many competitive scenarios, giving Bug-type Pokémon or Pokémon that utilize Bug-type moves an edge in battle.

In terms of in-game acquisition, SilverPowder can often be found through various means such as purchasing from certain in-game shops, finding it on the ground in specific locations, or receiving it as a gift from non-playable characters (NPCs). For example, in many of the Pokémon games, Bug-type specialists or areas associated with Bug-type Pokémon may yield SilverPowder.

Notably, SilverPowder is particularly useful for boosting the moves of Bug-type Pokémon, such as Scyther, Heracross, and Volcarona, ensuring their Bug-type attacks hit harder and are more effective against threats weak to Bug-type moves, including
