What is your favourite Pokemon item with a negative effect?

My favourite is the Doom Seed from PMD2. I know it lowers your level, but the sound effect it makes always cracks me up - that organ riff followed by a chipmunk laugh. (It makes it sound like the game's mocking you for your misfortune.) It was especially fun to throw them at enemies.
 
Reviser Seed from PMD Sky. That is all. Bosses aren't so scary once you've placed this in front of them to pick up.
 
Hmmm, not really sure. I'm not one for items in normal gameplay but I'd probably go with Energy Root, if that counts, since you can get them fairly early in-game.
 
Do items with negative effects as drawbacks count?

If so, Choice Scarf, I used to absolutely hate the idea of being stuck using one move unless I switch, but working around it ended up being a fun way to play and I changed my mind after seeing the raw physical power pokemon like Victini and Garchomp displayed holding one.

Life orbs is good too and would probably be my other favorite and the one I prefer to use if the drop in power isn't that big of a deal, just cause I still prefer to have access too all of my moves at all times.
 
Heracrossite, because anything that gives anyone a nose like that is definitely a negative. :')
 
Any Z move mishap VS an immunity. One of those palm-face moments that you can't help but chuckle at.
 
Ring target.

Nothing better than to Switcheroo or Trick that onto a poke with a immunity and then hammer away at it.
 
Black Sludge. Because it's funny when an opponent randomly uses Covet or the like and isn't a Poison type. "Okaaay, if you insist, but I don't think you'll enjoy it as much as I do." I also like to use Soak on Pokemon that hold it in the Maison.

I actually used the doom seed quite a bit, it would drop you to where you needed 1 exp to level up so I would just use it and then kill something for a free easy heal (you fully healed everything on level ups). Also, since it was earlier gen the EVs were different so levelling up to level 100 again could actually wind up with your stats a little higher (I was level 100)

Throwing them at bosses was also funny. And also allowed me to see their level to see if I was over or under levelled
 
I will go for Toxic Orb Poison Heal Gliscor since that is what I have used the most
 
Poison Heal Gliscor really does wonders with the Toxic Orb, but I think the Flame Orb deserves some appreciation too. Most notably, Marvel Scale Milotic — the Flame Orb turns it into a wall right away, and healing off the burn damage is no problem for it with Recover. It also works decently well with anything having Guts (though that's less so my style).

I kinda like the Iron Ball, too. Good in Trick Room, of course, but I personally think it's really fun when paired with Fling. If you time it right it can almost always catch somebody off-guard lol.
