List of Pokémon by wild held item
It has been suggested that this article be moved to List of wild Pokémon's held items. Please discuss whether or not to move it on its talk page. |
- This article is about wild held items from Generation III onward. For wild held items in Generation II, see List of Pokémon by wild held item (Generation II). For items dropped by wild Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, see List of Pokémon by food preferences.
This is a list of Pokémon by the items they may be holding when caught from the wild from Generation III onward. Note that not all Pokémon listed can be caught legitimately in the wild, but their held item exists in the game's programming.
Item rarity
In most games, Pokémon have a 50% chance of appearing with a common item or a 5% chance of appearing with a rare item. If a Pokémon has the same item defined for both its common item and its rare item, it will appear with that item 100% of the time. In Generation V, some Pokémon, if encountered in dark grass, also have a 1% chance of appearing with a third item.
In Pokémon Emerald and all games since Generation IV, if a Pokémon with the Ability Compound Eyes leads the party (even if fainted), the chances of finding a wild Pokémon holding an item increase from 50%/5% to 60%/20% (in dark grass in Generation V, the chances becomes 60%/20%/5%). In Generation VIII, this effect is now shared by the Ability Super Luck.
