Item maniac: Difference between revisions

An item maniac is a person who will purchase certain items from the player at a higher price than what they would be sold for to a Poké Mart. Some items which cannot be sold to Poké Marts can be sold to item maniacs. They appeared in Generation V.

Notes

• Unlike Poké Marts, item maniacs will only buy items one at a time, regardless of how many of the item the player has.
• In Pokémon Black and White, there is a glitch in where the Ore Maniac will not recognize a Leaf Stone as an acceptable ore, although he will recognize all other evolutionary stones as such.
