First, looking at the overall list of items available for exchange this ti there were six options, one more than last ti.
Although the list no longer included a [Move Tutor], it had added two pieces of Legendary equipnt.
And Kael could tell at a glance that the quality of these items was far higher than before.
At the top of the list were the familiar [IV Enhancers].
This ti, however, there were two versions: [IV Enhancer (Small)] and [IV Enhancer (dium)].
Seeing that, Kael's eyes lit up.
In his previous life, before reincarnation, he had redeed one [IV Enhancer (Small)] and had been lucky enough to gain [ 8 IV].
Such potions, capable of raising intrinsic values, were, in a sense, ways of permanently increasing one's potential.
For Kael, this was incredibly important.
A Pokémon's potential didn't just decide strength among equals; it also dictated how quickly one could grow stronger.
Thus, [IV Enhancers] went directly into his must-try category.
Besides, the system notes only restricted the sa type of enhancer to one per world.
It didn't forbid stacking across different types.
If he redeed both [Small] and [dium], then in his next life he would gain at least [ 15 IVs] guaranteed.
He glanced at the cost.
[150 Points]
"Heh—pocket change."
Feasible!
Nodding to himself, Kael continued reading down the list.
"Hmm... [Attribute Choice (Interdiate)]."
This, too, had to be redeed!
In fact, Kael thought [Attribute Choice] was even more important than the IV potions.
Typing was everything.
A Pokémon's elental typing could define its entire destiny.
If he drew sothing like [Grass] or [Bug] types with huge populations but wildly uneven quality his own "unlucky streak" might leave him stuck in a low-ceiling species.
Even with IV boosts, he would hit a wall.
But if fortune smiled and he landed on [Dragon typing]... then even the weakest of Dragons would still begin life far above the average Pokémon.
So, even though it was pricey, Kael resolved to secure the [Attribute Choice (Interdiate)].
Even if it didn't give him Dragons, it could at least let him dodge a bad roll.
And then ca the three big-ticket items the ones that made Kael practically drool.
[Terrakion's Fortress Shoulder Guard.]
A powerful piece of offensive equipnt.
Even more than the [Fighting-type Affinity] boost, Kael coveted the [ 20% Physical Attack].
After all, of the nearly one thousand Pokémon moves, most fell into [Physical].
And that 20% boost would scale with level turning even tiny margins into life-or-death differences.
With it, he could stand undefeated against most opponents of his tier.
Next [Shaymin's Gracidea Blossom].
A recovery-type item, perfect for tank Pokémon.
[Recover 0.5% Max HP per second in battle.]
That's 30% HP back every minute!
If equipped by a naturally bulky Pokémon, he could create an entire battle style around sheer endurance where the enemy's damage couldn't outpace his healing.
Sothing you'd expect only from ga-breaking hacks.
As for its [Sky For Activation], Kael found it underwhelming. Flight was nice, but the restrictions [Dayti Only], [12-hour Cooldown] made it effectively usable once a fight.
Compared to the regen, it wasn't eye-catching at all.
Finally [Zamazenta's Heart (Incomplete)].
Kael hadn't played Pokémon Sword/Shield in his past life, so Zamazenta wasn't familiar to him.
But the item's effects spoke for themselves.
The first ability, [Veteran of a Hundred Battles], was reason enough to spend every point he had.
Flat [Damage Reduction], as if it were a law of physics.
And when under [30% HP], the reduction rose even higher.
"Damn..."
Kael smacked his lips.
This was the ultimate clutch skill the kind of trump card that turned hopeless battles around.
The second ability, [Lord of Shields], was vague in description, but given the note's praise, it was clearly powerful.
By now, Kael had reviewed the entire list and had a rough plan.
The dream combo would be [Zamazenta's Heart] plus [Shaymin's Blossom].
Together they offered unmatched durability and recovery, a perfect synergy.
But...
He didn't have enough points.
Together, they cost [5500 Points].
Even after everything, he only had [5087 Points].
He'd have to choose.
"Sigh..., can't have all, it seems"
With a bitter smile, Kael made his decision quickly.
He chose [Zamazenta's Heart (Incomplete)].
The [Damage Reduction] was simply too good to pass up.
Not picking it would feel like a cri.
With that settled, the rest was easier.
His 5000 points were enough to grab everything else except Shaymin's Blossom.
One spree later...
Kael stared at his leftover balance just [87 Points] and felt a strange hollowness mixed with deep satisfaction.
It was like in his past life, when you finally assembled a full set of "god-tier gear" in a ga and couldn't wait to test it in the next dungeon.
He tapped the [Reincarnate] button.
[Ding!]
[Attribute Choice (Interdiate) detected.]
[Use: Yes/No?]
Without hesitation, Kael chose [Yes].
Swish—
[Five glowing icons] appeared before him.
