A '''held item''' is an [[item]] that may be carried by a Pokémon. This capability was first introduced in [[Generation II]]; however, when a Pokémon obtained in [[Generation I]] is traded to a [[Generation II]] game through the [[Time Capsule]], it may be holding an item, such as a [[TM09]] held by an {{p|Abra}}. Likewise, items held by Pokémon traded to Generation I will not be lost. | A '''held item''' is an [[item]] that may be carried by a Pokémon.

Held items range from [[Berry|Berries]], which can be used in battle for recovery of {{stat|HP}} or [[status]], to items which can be used to enhance the power of certain moves. Most items may be held as well, such as [[Poké Ball]]s and [[Revive]]s, though since the Pokémon will not use them, this has less benefits. | Held items range from [[Berry|Berries]], which can be used in battle for recovery of {{stat|HP}} or [[status ailment]], to items which can be used to enhance the power of certain moves.

During the same generation that held items were introduced, the move {{m|Thief}} was introduced, enabling players to steal held items from wild Pokémon (assuming the wild Pokémon was holding an item, and the Pokémon using the move was not). In Generation III, {{m|Covet}} was introduced, which had the same effect as Thief, as well as {{m|Knock Off}}, which disables the target's held item for the rest of the {{pkmn|battle}}. Another Generation III move, {{m|Trick}}, swaps the user and target Pokémon's held items. Then, in Generation IV, {{m|Switcheroo}} was introduced, which has the same effect as Trick, along with {{m|Embargo}}, which disables any item use on or by the target (including held items), and {{m|Fling}}, which consumes the user's held item and deals damage to the opponent depending on the item flung. In Generation V, {{m|Bestow}} was introduced, which gives the user's held item to the target. | During the same generation that held items were introduced, the move {{m|Thief}} was introduced, enabling players to steal held items from wild Pokémon (assuming the wild Pokémon was holding an item, and the Pokémon using the move was not).
