Valuable item: Difference between revisions

A '''valuable item''' is an [[item]] which generally serves no practical purpose, but can be sold at [[Poké Mart]]s, usually for a high price. In  [[Generation II]], you are able to buy some of these items (but only one of each per day) on a specific day and time in the [[Underground Path (Goldenrod)|Underground Path of Goldenrod City]].

==List of valuable items==

This is the original valuable item, introduced since [[Generation I]]. It can be sold for {{PDollar}}5000, 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 {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Muk}}, and can be found by a [[Pokémon]] with the {{a|Pickup}} [[ability]]. In [[Generation IV]] it is officially announced that nuggets are made of gold, though the [[Generation III]] sprite revealed this beforehand. In [[Generation II]] Nuggets could be recieved for free by participating in Buena's Password Show at night.

===Pearl and Big Pearl===

These items, introduced in [[Generation II]], can be sold for {{PDollar}}700 and {{PDollar}}3750, 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 {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Cloyster}}, and also {{p|Clamperl}} in the case of the Big Pearl, can be found holding these items. Additionally, some wild {{p|Gulpin}} and {{p|Swalot}} can also hold them. Because of being bigger and more valuable, the Big Pearl is harder to find.

Also introduced in Generation II, these items can be sold for {{PDollar}}1000 and {{PDollar}}4900 respectively. Other than being rarely found lying around on a route or cave, they can be found attached to certain {{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Starmie}}, due to them being based on starfish. It was found in the coding that the Stardust can also be held by wild {{p|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]] [[The Underground|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 {{PDollar}}250 and {{PDollar}}2500, respectively. They can sometimes be found lying around, particularly in caves, and can also be held by wild {{p|Paras}} and {{p|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 {{PDollar}}5000, 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 {{PDollar}}1,000,000, the player must refuse (as that is one more unit of money then can be carried) and save all the {{p|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 {{PDollar}}9800, 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.

Surprisingly enough, the Slowpoketail is a useless item with no actual usage passed its monotary value. For instance, although its said a Slowpoke will use its tail for fishing it has no effect of fishing at all. It also has no affect on {{P|Shellder}} despite the fact that under normal circumstances when it comes in contact with a Slowpoke's tail it will induce a spiral evolution.

One key point of interest is when first introduced, the Team Rocket member mentions the Slowpoketail's value as a delicacy, being the first time that its ever mentioned of the use of any Pokémon as an actual food (for human consumption), a rather controversial subject of what kind of creature is the contributor of meat (of any kind) in the Pokémon world.
