The Choice Scarf is a valuable item in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl that grants the Pokémon holding it a speed boost of 50% but only allows the holder to use one of its four moves during Pokémon battles. To equip the Choice Scarf during battles, players will first need to first complete the main storyline and gain access to the postgame content.
The Choice Scarf, a held item in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, is especially beneficial for Pokémon who normally have a low Speed stat. A low Speed stat often results in a Pokémon going second during a Pokémon battle. Therefore, the Choice Scarf is a particularly useful item for Pokémon that mirrors their opponents’ stats, similar to Ditto.
Choice Scarf is a popular item for competitive play, as it cannot be obtained until the player completes the main storyline and fills their Pokédex, but it does offer a substantial speed boost. Players will want to choose the Pokémon they equip it to carefully, as that Pokémon will be limited to only one move during battle instead of their usual four moves. Additionally, it is important to note that Pokémon can only hold one item at a time, so players may need to plan accordingly before heading into battle.
