Item: Difference between revisions

'''Items''' (Japanese: '''どうぐ''' ''tool'') are collectible goods that exist in all forms of the Pokémon media. They have various uses, including healing, powering up, or helping one to catch Pokémon. Below is a list of item categories, with a brief description of each item. More information can be found in the items' respective articles.

==Bag items==

These are items that are stored in the [[Bag]].

===Recovery items===

Some items allow the recovery of a Pokémon's {{stat|HP}}. Typically, these are food items and include [[drink]]s, [[ether]]s, [[herbal medicine]], [[Potion]]s, [[Revive]]s, the [[RageCandyBar]] and the one-of-a-kind [[Sacred Ash]].

Some [[status ailment healing item]]s will cure a Pokémon of other injuries.

===Stat-enhancing items===

Some items will increase a Pokémon's [[stats]] either for the long-term ([[Vitamin]]s) or just in a battle ([[Battle item]]s). Stats can also be increased through evolution; some Pokémon evolve when exposed to specific [[evolutionary stone]]s or [[evolution-inducing held item|another item]].

===Held items===

[[Held item]]s are items given to a Pokémon to hold onto by its Trainer. These items can help the Pokémon in battle (such as [[Berry|Berries]], [[in-battle effect item]]s, [[stat-enhancing item]]s, or [[type-enhancing item]]s), help the Pokémon to reproduce (such as [[incense]]) or provide communication with others (such as [[Mail]]).

===Poké Balls===

[[Poké Ball]]s are a mechanism in which a captured Pokémon is kept. Poké Balls come in many varieties, each of different strength.

===Escape Rope===

[[Escape Rope]]s are used to return to the entrance of a cave or dungeon.

===Experience-affecting item===

[[Experience-affecting item]]s such as the Exp. Share and {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Lucky Egg}} aid a Pokémon's growth.

===Escape items===

[[Escape item]]s, such as {{DL|Escape item|Poké Doll}} and {{DL|Escape item|Fluffy Tail}}, provide easy escape from a wild Pokémon.

===Repel===

[[Repel]] prevents wild Pokémon from appearing. There are many different types, each with a different strength.

===Cologne===

Only in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{Pokémon XD}}, [[Cologne]] increases a Pokémon's friendship.

===Honey===

[[Honey]] attracts wild Pokémon to grassy patches and can be slathered on special trees in the [[Sinnoh]] region to attract rare Pokémon.

===Move Machines===

[[TM]]s and [[HM]]s provide a wider movepool for Pokémon to learn from. Some moves will have additional use outside of battle.

===Mulch===

[[Mulch]] is used in [[Berry]] growth.

===Valuable and exchangeable items===

Some items have no purpose other than to earn money for the player or otherwise help obtain other goods. These can specifically refer to [[Coin]]s, [[Apricorn]]s, and [[Shard]]s, but other [[valuable item]]s and [[exchangeable item]]s can also be found.

===Key items===

[[Key item]]s can only be obtained once in gameplay and cannot be traded between games. Often these are items which the player must deliver to a [[non-player character]], but other times they are intended to be kept and will aid gameplay.

===Fossils===

[[Fossil]]s may be revived into Pokémon. There are eleven types of Fossils:

* [[Dome and Helix Fossils]]

* [[Old Amber]]

* [[Claw and Root Fossils]]

* [[Armor and Skull Fossils]]

* [[Cover and Plume Fossils]]

* [[Jaw and Sail Fossils]]

===Flutes===

A [[Flute]] is an item that can be blown to produce an effect. They can be used multiple times without being consumed.

 

Introduced in [[Pokémon X and Y]], the [[Ability Capsule]] is a consumable item that allows a Trainer to change the [[Ability]] of one Pokémon, provided the individual belongs to a species with two standard Abilities, and the individual posesses one of them.

 

[[File:Dream Strange Souvenir Sprite.png|thumb|right|Global Link artwork]]

The Strange Souvenir is an item introduced in X and Y that is received from a foreign {{tc|Backpacker}} in a hotel who says he is not from any of the regions from the previous games: [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], or [[Unova]]. It is worth {{PDollar}}5 if sold.

The [[Bag]] appears in every Pokémon game in one form or another. It is used to hold all of the player's items, and is accessible from the beginning of the game through the [[menu]].

==Trainer Card==

The {{ga|Trainer Card}} contains all the information about a Trainer, including their name, [[Trainer ID number]], the amount of [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] they have, the amount of Pokémon in their [[Pokédex]] and the length of time they have been playing. The Trainer Card will change color depending on how far through the game the player is.

==Rewards==

===Badges===

[[Badge]]s are a sign that a player has defeated a [[Gym Leader]]. Earning more Badges will help qualify for the [[Pokémon League]], as well as allow the use of specific [[HM]]s outside of battle and affect the behavior of certain Pokémon. They are displayed with the Trainer Card.

===Symbols===

A [[commemorative print]] is earned when one of the Frontier Brains at a Generation IV {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} is defeated. The prints are displayed on the [[Vs. Recorder]].
