Discover all the Mochi types and their effects in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet's Teal Mask DLC! Learn how to reset EVs and customize your Pokemon's stats for competitive play.
Hey there! So, you're diving into The Teal Mask DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and want to know all about Mochi? These are super handy items you get from playing a minigame called Ogre Oustin' near Kitakami Hall. Basically, Mochi lets you tweak your Pokémon's Effort Values (EVs), which is awesome for fine-tuning them for battles, especially if you're building a new competitive team or a specific Tera Raid build. It's way easier than the old days of using berries that only took away 10 EVs at a time!
You earn Mochi by playing Ogre Oustin'. As you play more, the minigame actually gets tougher, but hey, more Mochi for you!
All Mochi Types and Their Effects
Here’s the full rundown of what each Mochi does:
| Mochi Type | Effect |
| Clever Mochi | Adds 10 EVs for a Pokemon’s Special Defense stat. |
| Fresh-Start Mochi | Resets all of a Pokemon’s EVs to 0. |
| Genius Mochi | Adds 10 EVs for a Pokemon’s Special Attack stat. |
| Health Mochi | Adds 10 EVs for a Pokemon’s HP stat. |
| Muscle Mochi | Adds 10 EVs for a Pokemon’s Attack stat. |
| Resist Mochi | Adds 10 EVs for a Pokemon’s Defense stat. |
| Swift Mochi | Adds 10 EVs for a Pokemon’s Speed stat. |
The Fresh-Start Mochi is a real game-changer, letting you completely reset a Pokémon's EVs. This is super useful if you want to rebuild a Pokémon for a different role or strategy without starting from scratch.
A Quick Look at EV-Reducing Berries
Before Mochi, we had these berries that could lower EVs. They're still around and can be found at the Porto Marinada Auction, in Gym Challenge Rerun rewards, and as Tera Raid Battle Rewards:
| Item | Effect |
| Grepa Berry | Friendship increase, lowers Special Defense EV by 10 points |
| Hondew Berry | Friendship increase, lowers its Special Attack EV by 10 points |
| Kelpsy Berry | Friendship increase, lowers its Attack EV by 10 points |
| Pomeg Berry | Friendship increase, lowers its HP EV by 10 points. |
| Qualot Berry | Friendship increase, lowers its Defense EV by 10 points. |
| Tamato Berry | Friendship increase, lowers its Speed EV by 10 points. |
So, whether you're boosting a specific stat with a Mochi or reducing one with a berry, you've got plenty of options to get your Pokémon just right!
