View source for List of permanently missable items

This is a '''list of [[item]]s in the [[Pokémon games]] that can be permanently missed'''.

This page does not include items that are missed by choosing another item (such as mutually exclusive [[Fossil]]s), items missable due to exploiting [[glitch]]es, nor [[event item]]s. Furthermore, items that can no longer be obtained after the internal battery of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], or {{v2|Emerald}} runs dry are also excluded.

==In the core series==
===[[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]===
In the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}} games, five {{i|Poké Ball}}s can be obtained from [[Professor Oak]] after defeating the {{ga|Blue|rival}} on {{rt|22|Kanto}} if the {{player}} has no Poké Balls in the bag and has added no caught data to the [[Pokédex]] aside from [[starter Pokémon]].

===[[S.S. Anne]]===

This item can only be obtained if {{m|Surf}} is used while the [[S.S. Anne]] is still in [[Vermilion Harbor]]. Once the S.S. Anne leaves, the {{player}} cannot access the area in which Surf must be used again.

{{Itlistfoot|ocean}}

====Ship====
In the [[Generation I]] games, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed, LeafGreen}}, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!]] after obtaining {{HM|01|Cut}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/learning [[Secret Technique|Chop Down]]{{sup/7|PE}} and leaving the [[S.S. Anne]], it sets sail.

In the Generation I games, exploiting [[List of glitches (Generation I)#Save Surf exploit|a glitch]] can allow the player to board the S.S. Anne after it has left. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the player can receive extra {{i|Poké Ball}}s for defeating the Trainers on the ship, but if the player doesn't battle a Trainer before learning the Secret Technique from the captain, that Trainer will act as if already defeated and cannot be battled.

===[[Mahogany Town]]===
In the [[Generation II]] games, the [[Slowpoke Tail]] can be bought for {{PDollar}}9800 in {{DL|Mahogany Town|Just a Souvenir Shop}} prior to speaking to [[Lance]] at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Once Lance opens the secret entrance to the [[Team Rocket HQ]], the salesman no longer sells anything, and once the player has cleared the HQ, the Slowpoke Tail is not a part of the new merchant's selection of buyable items. The tail isn't available for sale at the shop at any point during {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, even though it exists in the game's coding.

[[Eagun]]'s two {{p|Pikachu}} are each holding a Light Ball during the post-game battle against him at the [[Pokémon HQ Lab]]. These items can be stolen with Thief or Covet during the battle, but if they're not, they become unobtainable, as Eagun cannot be rematched.
