| # | Method | Repeatable? |
| 1 | Battle Maison’s Exchange Service Corner – 32 BP | Yes |
| 2 | Held item from wild Plusle (AS) or Minun (OR) found on Route 110 – 5% chance | Yes |
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire there are two repeatable ways to obtain the Cell Battery held item.
Method #1: The Battle Maison’s Exchange Service Corner will give you a Cell Battery for 32 Battle Points (BP). The Battle Maison is located at the Battle Resort.
Method #2: Use TM46 Thief to steal a Cell Battery as a held item on a wild Plusle or Minun (depending on the version you’re playing). Both can be found on Route 110.
Uses
The Cell Battery is a consumable held item that raises the holder’s Attack stat by one stage when it is hit by an Electric-type move.
If a holder’s Attack is already at its maximum of +6, the Cell Battery won’t be triggered. Here’s how much each stage modifies your Pokémon’s Attack stat:
| Stage | Main Stat |
|---|---|
| 0 | x1 |
| 1 | x1.5 |
| 2 | x2.0 |
| 3 | x2.5 |
| 4 | x3.0 |
| 5 | x3.5 |
| 6 | x4.0 |
In competitive battles, the Cell Battery is hardly ever used. This is due to its trigger condition – the need for the holder to be hit by an Electric-type move is too situational. And the single-stage Attack boost often isn’t worth the effort. Especially when there are many other held items that consistently provide a more reliable damage boost.
