Valuable item

A valuable item is an item which generally serves no practical purpose, but can be sold at Poké Marts, usually for a high price. In Generation II, you are able to buy some of these items on a specific day and time in the Underground Path of Goldenrod City.

List of valuable items

Nugget

This is the original valuable item, introduced since Generation I. It can be sold for File:Pokébuck sign.gif5000, making it the most valuable of the items in this list. It can be found in fields, caves and buildings, or given to the player for completing a quest or as a gift (for example, the Nugget Bridge in Cerulean City). They can also be found attached to some wild Grimer and Muk, and can be found by a Pokémon with the Pickup ability. In Generation IV it is officially announced that nuggets are made of gold, though the Generation III sprite revealed this beforehand.

Pearl and Big Pearl

These items, introduced in Generation II, can be sold for File:Pokébuck sign.gif700 and File:Pokébuck sign.gif3750, respectively. While not as common as the Nugget is, they can be found in the underwater routes in Hoenn. Because of being Pokémon based on clamshells, which in real life produce pearls, certain Shellder and Cloyster, and also Clamperl in the case of the Big Pearl, can be found holding these items. Additionally, some wild Gulpin and Swalot can also hold them. Because of being bigger and more valuable, the Big Pearl is harder to find.

Stardust and Star Piece

Also introduced in Generation II, these items can be sold for File:Pokébuck sign.gif1000 and File:Pokébuck sign.gif4900 respectively. Other than being rarely found lying around on a route or cave, they can be found attached to certain Staryu and Starmie, due to them being based on starfish. It was found in the coding that the Stardust can also be held by wild Jirachi in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, although there are no actual wild Jirachi in the games. The Star Piece can additionally be found in the Sinnoh Underground. Due to the Star Piece being a real piece of gem (and not only dust, unlike the Stardust), it can be sold for more money, and is generally harder to find.

Tinymushroom and Big Mushroom

These items were also introduced in Generation II, and can be sold for File:Pokébuck sign.gif250 and File:Pokébuck sign.gif2500, respectively. They can sometimes be found lying around, particularly in caves, and can also be held by wild Paras and Parasect. These items are very valuable to certain maniacal fan segments, according to the games. These items actually serve a purpose as an exchangable item in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, as they can be given to the Move Tutor (two Tinymushrooms or one Big Mushroom) to teach a Pokémon a move it is capable of learning through level-up, even if the Pokémon is of a higher level than when a certain move is learned. However, they don't serve any other purpose on any of the other games they appear in, so they are included in this list.

Rare Bone

This item was introduced in Generation IV, and sells for File:Pokébuck sign.gif5000, the equivalent of a Nugget. It can be found in the Sinnoh Underground. Another one can be found in the room the player battled Giratina in Turnback Cave when they return a second time.

Slowpoketail

Introduced in Generation II. Offered by Team Rocket on Route 32 for File:Pokébuck sign.gif1,000,000, the player must refuse (as that is one more unit of money then can be carried) and save all the Slowpoke Team Rocket has kidnapped. The item later appears in a shop Team Rocket's running in Mahogany Town for the much more affordable price of File:Pokébuck sign.gif9800, but it can only be bought before meeting Lance at the Lake of Rage, at which point the shop won't sell anything until Team Rocket is defeated in Goldenrod City. The item is never seen again after meeting Lance.
