This is a guide for obtaining a Covert Cloak in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet.
What is a Covert Cloak¶
Covert Cloak is a new hold item with a powerful effect: it prevents the secondary effects of the opponent’s moves from affecting your Pokémon.
This hold item functions a bit like the Sheer Force ability in reverse. It can negate status ailments from moves like Nuzzle, Flamethrower, Ice Beam, etc. Plus trapping effects from Fire Spin, Sand Tomb, etc. Furthermore, it prevents flinching from moves like Fake Out and Rock Slide!
However, it doesn’t work for primary effects. So moves like Thunder Wave will still Paralyze and Confuse Ray will still cause confusion, since that’s their main purpose.
Covert Cloak Location¶
You can find a Covert Cloak in the snow town of Montenevera. Search the tree behind the Sushi High Roller restaurant for an item ball containing a Covert Cloak!
If you need another Covert Cloak or don’t want to trek up the mountains, you can also buy one from the Levincia branch of Delibird Presents. It’ll cost you 20,000 Poké Dollars. Might be a little steep near the beginning, so don’t fret if you can’t afford it.
