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}} curing of a [[status ailment]], raising of a stat, and other effects; to the {{DL|Out-of-battle effect item|Soothe Bell}}, which boosts [[friendship]] gained. | Held items range from [[Berry|Berries]], which can be used in battle for recovery of {{stat|HP}}, curing of a [[status ailment]], raising of a stat, and other effects; to the {{DL|Out-of-battle effect item|Soothe Bell}}, which boosts [[friendship]] gained. | ||

Though most items ''can'' be held by a Pokémon, many will have no effect by being held. [[Key item]]s and [[HM]]s cannot be held; in Generation IV, only {{p|Giratina}} can hold the [[Timespace orbs|Griseous Orb]]; also [[Apricorn]]s and [[Poké Ball]]s made from them cannot be held; from Generation V onwards, [[TM]]s cannot be held. Any other type of item may be held, but apart from use via {{m|Fling}}, [[Potion]]s, [[Revive]]s, [[herbal medicine]], [[status ailment healing item]]s, [[Ether]]s, [[Vitamin]]s, [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]], [[TM]]s, [[Evolutionary stone]]s (except the {{evostone|Everstone}}), [[Fossil]]s, [[Repel]]s, [[Escape item]]s, [[Battle item]]s, [[Valuable item]]s, [[Exchangeable item]]s, [[Apricorn]]s, [[Mulch]], [[Flute]]s, [[Wing]]s, have no effect. [[Poké Ball]]s have no effect while held and cannot be flung. | |||
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 has the same effect as Thief{{tt|*|From Generation V onward, Covet has 20 more power than 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's 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. Generation IV also introduced the Ability {{a|Klutz}}, which disables the battle effect of most held items for the Pokémon with Klutz. 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).
