6th Gen Natural Objects

[Palamon]

In X/Y, there was a mechanic known as Natural Objects. Basically, using certain types of moves in battle where a natural object occurs will have items drop in battle. In X/Y, this is the only way to get the item Luminous Moss.

Did you ever get items from Natural Objects in battle? Since this mechanic is extremely specific.... no, I have not.

I had never even heard about this? Can you give an example?

I had never even heard about this? Can you give an example?

It's when a tree, pillar, etc. shows up in the background of a battle. When using a certain move on the defending Pokémon, such as Surf or Air Cutter, your attack can also cause the pillar to collapse or a berry to fall from the tree.

I've gotten several Damp Rocks while battling Durant hordes for Defense EVs.
