The Claydol Crest is a special type of held item, known as a Crest, that is unique to Pokémon Rejuvenation.

Effect

If held by a Claydol this item causes the Defense Stat to be used to calculate damaging moves (both Special Attack and Physical Attack) instead of the respective stats, this excludes stat boosts, so Defense stat boosts do not modify Special Attack, while Special Attack boosts still apply. Beam moves (Ice Beam, Psybeam, Aurora Beam, Solar Beam, Hyper Beam etc.) are boosted by 50%, furthermore Hyper Beam requires no recharge turn and Solar Beam can be used in only one turn, regardless of whether Sun is up or not.

Acquisition

This item can be obtained in Castle Zygara on a small balcony inside the secret area behind the bookcase. This area only becomes accessible after hearing the password from Karen during the related sidequest.
