Type-enhancing item

From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Jump to: navigation, search

A type-enhancing item, when held, enhances the potency of attacks whose type corresponds to the item. In Generation IV, these items boost attacks by 20%; in previous generations, they only boost attacks by 10%. For example, if a Pokémon holds Mystic Water and uses a Water-type move, the power of the Water-type move will be increased by 20%.

If these items are sold, Poké Marts will pay Pokémon Dollar50 for them with the exception of Charcoal, for which Poké Marts will pay Pokémon Dollar4,900, and the Adamant, Lustrous, and Griseous Orbs for which Poké Marts will offer Pokémon Dollar5,000.

In Generation II, several of these items can only be obtained from the Week Siblings.

Trivia

  • In Generation II, there was one item that would power up each type, with the exception of the Normal-type, which had both the Pink Bow and Polkadot Bow. In Generation IV, this is reversed, with each type powered up by one of the items as well as by a plate. The Normal-type is the exception here, as well, as the Silk Scarf is not joined by a Plate.
  • Also in Generation II, Charcoal was the only item available for purchase in a regular store, though for a steep price. In later Generations, type-enhancing items can still be purchased, but only from a Game Corner.
