Mental Herb
# Method Repeatable?
1 Fortree City – Northeast treehouse, Sidequest reward from a Pokemon Breeder No
2 Held item from Wild Pokemon (5% chance):

  • Lotad – Route 102 (AS)
  • Lombre – Route 114 (AS)
  • Sewaddle – Route 101, Route 104 (DexNav)
Yes

There are two main ways to obtain Mental Herbs in ORAS. The simplest method involves completing a brief sidequest in Fortree City. An NPC will task his Wingull to deliver a letter. Once you find Wingull in Mossdeep City and return to the NPC, he’ll reward you with a Mental Herb.

Alternatively, you can use TM46 Thief to steal Mental Herbs from wild Lotad, Lombre, or Sewaddle. Each of these Pokémon only has a 5% chance of holding a Mental Herb, but you can use your DexNav to improve your odds.

It’s important to note that both Lotad and Lombre are exclusive to Alpha Sapphire. This means if you’re playing Omega Ruby, you can only find a Mental Herb from wild Sewaddle.

Method 1 – Fortree City (One-time Only)

In Fortree, a particular Pokémon Breeder will send out his Wingull to deliver a letter to a specific house in Mossdeep City. After you find the house where Wingull sent the letter, it will return back to its owner. When you talk to the Pokemon Breeder again, he’ll give you a Mental Herb as a reward.

Method 2 – Stealing from Wild Lotad, Lombre, or Sewaddle

Using TM46 Thief on a wild Lombre

Another way to obtain a Power Herb is by finding it as a held item on wild Lotad, Lombre, or Sewaddle. They can be found at the following locations:

  • Lotad – Route 102 (Alpha Sapphire Exclusive)
  • Lombre – Route 114 (Alpha Sapphire Exclusive)
  • Sewaddle – Route 101, Route 104 (DexNav)

When you encounter a wild Lotad, Lombre, or Sewaddle, there’s a 5% chance they will be holding a Mental Herb.

By using a Pokémon with TM46 Thief you can steal the item from it.

Uses

The Mental Herb is a consumable held item that can automatically cure the negative effects induced by certain moves. After a negative effect like infatuation is cured, the Mental Herb is consumed and disappears.
