In the anime

Stick, DeepSeaScales, DeepSeaTeeth and Thick Club in the anime

A DeepSeaTooth and a DeepSeaScale appeared in The Evolutionary War. They were used to evolve Keith's and Nancy's Clamperl into a Huntail and a Gorebyss, respectively.

A Stick, two DeepSeaTeeth, two DeepSeaScales and a Thick Club appeared in Showdown At Linoone as some of the items Tokin picked up.

The Soul Dew appeared in Pokémon Heroes where it was used to power-up the Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare.

Trivia

• The Rare Bone and Thick Club share the same Bag sprite.
• Other than the Eviolite, all of these are exclusively usable by only one or two related Pokémon.
• Because Pikachu cannot be found in the wild in Unova, Thief and similar moves no longer permanently steal items held by trained Pokémon, and Poké Transfer prohibits the import of held items, the Light Ball cannot be obtained in Generation V outside of events.
