A '''held item''' is an [[item]] held by [[Pokémon]] on direction from their [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]]. This capability was first introduced in [[Generation II]], though the thought of held items may extend as far back as [[Pokémon Yellow]], where many {{p|Farfetch'd}} and {{p|Kadabra}}, upon trading to a [[Generation II]] game, are revealed to have held items, a Stick and a Twisted Spoon, respectively. Held items range from [[Berries]] that can be used in battle to recover to items that can be used to enhance the power of certain moves. Most other items may be held as well, such as [[Poké Ball]]s and [[Revive]]s, though the Pokémon will not use them.

The following is a list of items made solely to be held items, grouped by purpose and listed in alphabetical order.

:''This list is incomplete. You can help by expanding it.''

==Type-enhancing items==
{{main|Type-enhancing item}}
Type-enhancing items increase the power of a used move of the enhanced type by 10% (20% in [[Generation IV]]). In [[Generation II]], some were given out by the [[Weekday Siblings]].

===‎Plates===
{{main|Plate}}
Plates are ancient stone tablets engraved with text that increase the power of moves of a specific type. There is one for each type except {{t|Normal}}.

==Stat enhancing items==
{{main|Stat-enhancing item}}
These items, when held, will increase certain [[stats]] of Pokémon. Some can only be used by specific Pokémon.

==In-battle effect items==
{{main|In-battle effect item}}
These items will take effect during battle to either aid or hinder the Pokémon holding them or an opponent.

==Evolution items==
{{main|Evolution-inducing held item}}
These items, when held by a Pokémon, will cause it to undergo [[evolution]] when activated by another event, such as gaining a [[level]] or being [[trade]]d.

==Incense==
{{main|Incense}}
These items, when held by a Pokémon, will cause it to produce an [[egg]] that will hatch into a [[baby Pokémon]] introduced after [[Generation II]].

==EV-enhancing items==

These items, when held by a Pokémon, promote [[EV]] gain in several different ways.

==Mail==
{{main|Mail}}
Mail allows players to send messages to each other by attaching it to a Pokémon that is to be traded.

==Berries==
{{main|Berry}}
Berries have varying effects. Some weaken [[super effective]] moves, and others cure [[status conditions]]. All can be used to make [[Pokéblocks]] or [[Poffin]].

Talk:Destiny Bond (move)

Fromaster:

Does anything happen if you use Destiny Bond followed by {{m|Explosion}}? [[User:Elsa|Elsa]] 20:33, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it would make a difference. Both you and the defending pokemon would just probably faint like normal.

== Diamond/Pearl Locations ==

I also have the D/P locations for most of the other items here, but they can wait until I'm less tired to go up. There are one or two that I'm missing though, and wouldn't mind being backed up on multiples of items or what the prices of Battle Tower items are, so if anyone's picked up the Prima Guide over the weekend, it'd be cool to scan over what it says and what I've added in - just to make sure nothing's been missed. --[[User:Doctor Oak|Doctor Oak]] 07:08, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

are all the new D/P hold items missing from this page? i just tried looking up shed shell which says that it enables the holder to switch with a waiting pokemon in battle but wasn't sure what that meant even after trying it. Also do you think the explanations of the items could be explained more thoroughly to give more insight on how the item works and what it will do under certain circumstances. [[User:Lucasthalefty|Lucasthalefty]] 03:48, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
:I just added all the DP items to the miscellaneous list. Naturally, feel free to refine my brief explanations and sort them into proper categories, and all that good stuff. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 05:35, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

== Protector, Magmarizer, Electrizer ==

What other purpose do they have besides evolution? It says in the description of all of them that "It is loved by a certain Pokémon". I can only assume that means Rhydon, Magmar, and Electabuzz, respectively, but does it do something to them? Does it raise their happiness when held? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 16:45, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Would be nice if the Underground articles could stop linking to this article for items that aren't here. [[User:Darien Shields|Darien Shields]] 08:08, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

== Chansey's Lucky Egg ==

Wasn't it a Lucky Egg rather than the Lucky Punch that was rarely attached to wild Chanseys in G/S/C? The Lucky Egg doubled experience gained in battle for the Pokémon holding it.

You're right. My source (Prima's Guide) says that a Lucky Egg is found attached to wild Chansey in G/S/C, and the Lucky Punch is found on Chanseys traded in the Time Capsule.

== Color Scarfs ==

Where we should place the Red/Blue/Green/Yellow/Pink Scarf gived by the Scarf Man in Pastoria City??, they help in the visual round of the Super Contests raising the coolness, cuteness, etc. They can be in Stat enhancing items, but Cute, Cool, etc. are not stats, or in In Battle Effect Items, but the Contest are not battles, so, I don't know. --[[User:Empoleon Bonaparte|Empoleon ''Bono'' Bonaparte]] 15:50, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

== Choice Specs ==

Where exactly can you find the Choice Specs? The article says Celestic Town, but it doesn't specify.
