Here’s everything you need to know about Loaded Dice in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

What does the Loaded Dice item do?

Loaded Dice is a hold item that affects the number of times a multistrike move hits.

“This loaded dice always rolls a good number, and holding one can ensure that the holder’s multistrike moves hit more times,” the item’s in-game description reads.

Multistrike moves like Bullet Seed, Fury Swipes, and Arm Thrust typically hit between two and five times, with the exact number being determined randomly each time the move is selected. Some multistrike moves, like Double Slap, hit exactly two times. For all multistrike moves, each separate hit has its own critical strike chance, but the attacks typically have a low base power.

When a Pokémon holds Loaded Dice and uses a multistrike move, they are guaranteed to strike a high number. You’ll want to ensure this item is held by a member of your team that has at least one multistrike attack to get the most utility from it.
