Mirror Herb
The Mirror Herb is an intriguing held item in Cobblemon that plays a significant role in competitive strategies. Here's a comprehensive guide to understanding its functions and obtaining it.
Obtaining the Mirror Herb
To acquire a Mirror Herb, you can start by using a bag of Surprise Mulch at the initial stage (Stage 0). This action will cause a Stage 9 Revival Herb crop to potentially mutate into one of these four crops: Mental Herb, Power Herb, White Herb, or Mirror Herb. Successfully breaking a Mirror Herb crop results in it dropping one Mirror Herb.
Usage of the Mirror Herb
A Mirror Herb has a unique ability to copy all of an opponent's increased stats. For instance, if your opponent uses a move like Swords Dance to boost their attack, the Mirror Herb will activate, increasing the holder's attack stage to +2 as well. However, it's important to note that as of version 1.5.2, the Mirror Herb does not enable the holder to learn an egg move from a compatible Pokémon when in the party outside of battle.
Composting the Mirror Herb
The Mirror Herb can also serve a purpose in composting. When composted, it has a guaranteed 100% chance of adding a layer of compost.
This held item offers strategic advantages in battles, making it a coveted item for seasoned players interested in leveling the competitive playing field.
