What it does

Holder's attacks do 1.3x damage, and it loses 1/10 its max HP after the attack.

Who holds it

163 of the 277 Pokémon measured on the Regulation M-B ladder hold Life Orb. The one that matters most is Kingambit, which is on 47.2% of teams and holds it on 24.2% of its sets. The full list is above, ordered by how much of the format each one is.

How concentrated it is

Across the ladder, Life Orb accounts for an expected 0.61 of the six slots on an average team, which makes it the 3rd most-brought of the 26 items this format runs. 19% of that comes from Kingambit alone, so it is spread across the field rather than propped up by one Pokémon. Its holders are mostly Water (22), Fire (21) and Ghost (20).

Where these numbers come from

Usage is Smogon's published statistics for the Regulation M-B VGC ladder, and the description is the one shipped in the Pokémon Showdown data set. Both are regenerated on every build rather than written by hand, so this page follows the format instead of trailing it. Take any of it to the team builder or the damage calculator.

Where this goes next

Build

Open the builder with Kingambit seated — Kingambit brings Life Orb to more teams than any of the other 162 Pokémon that hold it.
