Slap Glove

The Slap Gloves are a pair of gloves and a Psynergy-bestowing item introduced in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. When equipped, the Slap Gloves increase the wearers defense by 24 points and grant them access to the Slap Psynergy.

The Slap Gloves are given to Matthew by Ryu Kou in Kolima Junction. Ryu Kou takes them back shortly after defeating the Mountain Roc, but fortunately Sveta knows Slap without needing the gloves. Because they will be taken from the player's inventory, it is important to re-equip the character that was using the Slap Gloves.

The Slap Gloves are unique in that they are currently the only Psynergy item that falls into one of the major equipment categories. They are also the only Psynergy item in Dark Dawn that can be equipped by any Adept, regardless of their element. In addition, it is stated in the game that one needn't be an adept to use the gloves, as demonstrated by Ryu Kou using them to get through Belinsk Ruins.
