There are a wide variety of new items to collect in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet that you can give to your Pokemon to hold. Whether you find the Mirror Herb that can mirror enemy Pokemon stat increases or give your Pokemon a Covert Cloak to help them avoid status effects, there's an item in the game that can help you through just about any situation.
One such item is the Loaded Dice, a hold item that changes the number of times a multi-hit move will strike. According to the official item description, the Loaded Dice "always rolls a good number" and holding one can ensure that more moves come as a result of giving it to a Pokemon.
That means if you use a lot of moves like Fury Swipes or Arm Thrust, you can expect their two to five hits to go up with a better chance for a critical strike. Double Slap is one attack that nets you two hits exactly, so its critical strike chance will improve.
If you want to up your chances of doing more damage with multistrike moves that your best Pokemon rely on, the Loaded Dice are a great option to give your Pokemon as a held item. It's especially useful if you like to use Pokemon to come in as closers and deal a surprising amount of damage from unassuming-looking combatants.
So, how do you get the Loaded Dice? We've got all the answers you need right here.
How to Get the Loaded Dice in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
To get the Loaded Dice, set a course for the East Province of Area One. Look for the Pokemon Center near the northeast area of Artazon. Find the male NPC in a suit near the Pokemon Center, the same one you'll see near most of the others in the game. If you've beaten five or more Pokemon Trainers, he'll give you the Loaded Dice as a reward.
That's easy to accomplish, as there are plenty of different Pokemon Trainers in the area. Just walk around and defeat them until you've racked up enough victories, and then return to the NPC at the Pokemon Center. This number of Pokemon Trainer battles you've completed will not stack during your journey. You'll have to actively defeat Trainers in the same area as the NPC, so make sure you get started when you're in the vicinity and the Loaded Dice will be yours in no time.
