== Iron Ball ==

Why is there a point of having an '''Iron Ball'''? The only thing that makes it useful is that it gives the most power on the [[move]] {{m|Fling}}... [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 12:26, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
:{{m|Trick}} also combos nicely with it. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 19:28, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
::You could have the Pokémon holding it use {{m|Trick Room}} and then the {{stat|Speed}} cut would become a good thing. [[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 19:39, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Oh, it just seems like a pointless object. Never mind. [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 19:48, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
:Tesh, you're only thinking of beneficial effects from holding an item. Several held items that were added in Generation IV don't actually benefit the Pokémon holding it, but are meant to be used with other strategies that weren't possible with the previous Generations. Examples:
* Toxic Orb/Flame Orb- These items don't benefit the Pokémon that holds it, but they are useful when combined with certain moves (Fling, Trick, and Switcheroo in particular) and Abilities (Guts (with Toxic Orb at least), Magic Guard (the Pokémon won't take damage from the effect, so they can use a powered-up Facade without taking excessive damage), and Klutz).
* Iron Ball- Iron Ball can be Flung to cause massive damage, or it can be Switcheroo'd/Tricked onto an opponent in order to weaken them (especially helpful against a Flying-type or a Levitating opponent). A Lopunny or Buneary with Klutz can make the most of these tricks, since they won't suffer from the reduced speed.
* Lagging Tail- Trick or Switcheroo will put this on your opponent, making them move last every turn. Very helpful if your Pokémon is extremely slow.
:Don't judge an item just by what it does; judge it by what you can do with it. [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 16:07, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, thanks I kind of figured that out after lol. [[User:Tesh|'''TESH''']][[User_talk:Tesh|'''IGIGAS''']] 16:40, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

== Black Sludge ==
I've always wondered, is there any advantage to using '''Black Sludge''' on a [[Poison-type]] Pokémon as opposed to [[Leftovers]]? [[User:Blink|Blink]] 17:37 16 August 2007 (GMT)
:You could use Trick or Switcheroo. Or, if the opponent uses Thief, Covet, Trick, or Switcheroo on the first turn because they don't know what you're holding, and they aren't a Poison-type, they will get hurt. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 16:48, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
:: Or, if you're required to give each Pokémon a different hold item, it's the equivalent of being able to use 2 Leftovers. [[User:Zurqoxn|Zurqoxn]] 00:04, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
:::I see. I thought it might restore a little more health or something.

== Choice Specs ==

...the man gives out the Choice Specs during the morning, right? Because I just went to him and he talked about BlackGlasses instead. Is 10:35 REALLY not considered morning, or does the time period for BlackGlasses-giveaway happens to be at 10?
...on the other hand, when does the Specs giveaway start and end? {{ani|281}}[[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User:TinaTheKirlia/Sandbox|☆]][[User:TinaTheKirlia/Favorites|♥]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|♫]][http://freewebs.com/thepixelcafe δ]{{ani|282}} 16:40, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Do they let you have 1HP left even if you're hit by a OHKO attack, such as Sheer Cold? [[Image:164sMS.png]][[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny]][[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|?]][[Special:Contributions/Shiny Noctowl|!]] 13:38, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

:No I think it doesn't work aganst 1 hitKO :D,but mmm I battled in battler frontier of emerald long ago and I couldn't beat, I recall, a Exploud wich was holding this Focus Band, because I kept using it like 5 times IN A ROW I'm freaken not kidding,, how was that posible?? I mean this I'm not jocking it did happen!! I want to know why or what!--[[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 17:17, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

::Focus Sash is one-time, always works on a hit that would bring the Pokémon from full health to death (not Sheer Cold I don't think, but yes, stuff like Psychic on a fighting-type).
::if the Exploud had a Focus Band, that one can trigger multiple times, but it's only got a chance of working. That Exploud probably just got lucky-lucky. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 17:43, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
:::Focus Sash works against ANY move that would otherwise take out the Pokémon while it has full health. Sheer Cold, and the other 1H-KO moves included, would take it down to 1 HP. Focus Band is just random chance that it will hold against an attack, including the 1H-KO moves again. [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|R.A. Hunter B.]] 21:19, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, that happened to my oppenent at the Battle Tower, too, but only twice. --Kimori Geckarbor Hinoarashi 23:10, 19 October 2009 (UTC) [[User:Kimori-Hinoarashi|Kimori-Hinoarashi]]

Nope, 60% . It's a 20% increase. (50 / 10 = 5. 5 × 2 = 10. 50 + 10 = 60%) [[User:Tesh|'''TESHIGIGAS''']] 16:13, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

:Is that taken into account before or after an ability?(i.e. Compoundeyes)
::I'm not sure about that, but I'm guessing that it is done before an ability. [[User:Tesh|'''TESHIGIGAS''']] [[Image:486MS.png|RAWR!!]] 16:56, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

::::Question: if you were to raise your special attack, followed by overheat (were that possible) would it restore to 0, or to +1 on special attack? [[User:Zappyton|Zappyton]] 11:23, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

== Leftovers under sleeping Snorlax in FR/LG. ==

Do you need to find this before the Snorlax wakes up?

I've also heard of items being under certain key people in the game, but I've never found them in FR or LG. And I'm an [[Itemfinder]] fiend, running it nearly constantly. [[User:Machinedramon|Machinedramon]] 19:15, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
There's a Soothe Bell under where Mr. Fuji was in Pokémon Tower, and a Macho Brace where Giovanni was standing in the gym. And a Sacred Ash under where Ho-Oh perched. I'm [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]], and I approve this [[User Talk:Missingno. Master|message.]] 19:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
:You have to stand right where they were standing and use the Itemfinder for it to work; the items won't show up AT ALL if you're not standing on that exact spot. [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 16:11, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

== EXP. Share ==

If you have 2 exp.shares in your party do they get 1/3 of the exp or do they both get 1/2?
ie. would it be practical to have 5 exp.share's if your first one can ohko almost all? [[User:Keirou|Keirou]] 01:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
:If two Pokémon are holding Exp. Shares, the experience is divided in thirds, then distributed 1/3 to one holder, 1/3 to the other, and the remaining 1/3 is distributed among whoever battled. Having 5 of your Pokémon hold Exp. Shares would be the equivalent of having an Exp. All. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 07:56, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
:Actually, after experimenting today in Diamond, I discovered that 2 Exp. Shares splits so the pokemon who fought get half, and the sharers get a quarter each. I'll be experimenting with three as soon as I pick it up. [[User:Salix|Salix]] 06:00, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
::It appears that the Exp. Sharers get half the exp and the battlers get the other half, or at least in Diamond. [[User:Salix|Salix]] 03:33, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Didn't this split exp evenly between ALL party pokemon in gen1? If memory serves me, it did, and I think that's worth noting. [[User:Mageslayer|Mageslayer]] 14:45, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
:That was the EXP. ALL. Different item. Similar effect. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 21:39, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

== Smoke Ball ==

Does it work on Pokémon with ability such as shadow tag or arena trap or of the Pokémon used mean look before you decide to press run? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 03:25, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
:Yes. [[User:Tesh|'''TESH''']][[User_talk:Tesh|'''IGIGAS''']] 16:37, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

== Focus Band AND Smoke Ball AND Focus Sash ==
For Focus Band, does it work even when your HP is less than full (i.e. 1 HP can still survive)? if so, what are the odds?
For Smoke Ball, how do you use it in DP? It doesn't show up in any of the 4 item menus during battle.
For Focus Sash, does it FULLY disappear after use (a one-battle deal, please return to the battle tower for another)? -- Sk8torchic
:1. Yes, but I don't know the odds, 2. Make your Pokémon hold it, 3. yes, but you can also get it at the route near Pal Park. Hope I helped!--[[Blastoise (Pokémon)|K]][[Gary's Blastoise|kl]][[Blastoise (TCG)|l]][[User:Kkllnn|nn]] [[User Talk:Kkllnn| blastoise]] 19:22, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Will Black Sludge hurt Steel types too, or only Pokémon who are affected by Poison moves? [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|R.A. Hunter B.]] 22:39, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
:It will affect any non-Poison-type Pokémon, Steels included. The description does say ALL other types, but for accuracy's sake, I tried it on my Empoleon and it still worked. --[[User:Jayc|Jayc]] 08:33, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

:you could look on the source for other pages that have such images (like evolutionary stones or any of the fossils) for guidance if you don't know what to do with the pictures.

Is it possible to use a focus band in F.E.A.R instead of a focus sash [[User:Vespitomb|User: Vespitomb]] 10:45, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, but the Focus Band only has a 10% chance of working, although it doesn't require full health to work. In other words, you can use it, but 9 times out of 10 it won't work, making it a pretty useless choice. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] 10:51, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

== Turn Alteration ==

I moved Iron Ball from Turn Alteration to Negative Effect on Holder because it doesn't technically alter anything in the priority bracket. It just cuts speed. [[User:Smythe|Smythe]] 12:48, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

:::It does cut the holder's speed (and makes the holder if it's flying type or has levitate vulnerable to ground-type attacks), it's Lagging tail that affects priority.

== Amulet Coin held? ==

It says it can be held by wild Machokes in FRLG, [[Machoke#Held items]] says otherwise. Which one is true?--[[User:Afrael|Afrael]] 17:31, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

==Life Orb==
Does life orb power up explosion or will it not have any effect? [[User:S Ninja D|S Ninja D]] 15:41, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

==Focus Sash==
If a Shedinja is holding a focus sash, will it then become pretty much invinsible? It only has 1 HP, so any attack tha hits would bring it down from full health to death. Focus sash would make it stay at 1HP, but since this is its full HP, it could be sed again and again. Would this work? --- Migrant

== Negative effect items ==

Do these items actuallt benefit the holder in any way, or is the idea to use an item-switching move? [[User:Takharii|<sc>Takharii</sc>]] '''~''' [[User talk:Takharii|<sc>Talk!</sc>]] 05:59, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
:Some abilities are activated when a Pokémon is inflicted with a burn or poison. Some moves are more powerful at a lower priority. Some of those items have additional effects when combined with Fling. There are a range of strategies that can be used, not just using Switcheroo or Trick. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 06:13, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

== Shed Shell PHaze ==
Does the shed shell bypass traps with PHaze moves? In other words, if I give a [[Skarmory (Pokémon) | Skarmory]] a shed shell, could it use roar or whirlwind to force a Pokémon with the Magnet Pull ability out, or would Skarmory itself have to switch?
:Shed Shell just allows your Pokémon to switch out, regardless of Magnet Pull, or other abilities/moves. As far as I know, Magnet Pull dosen't work that way. It simply prevents opposing Steel types from switching out. You should be able to phaze the Magnet Puller anyway. If you were trying to phaze a {{p|Cradily}} with {{a|Suction Cups}} it wouldn't work if you held the Shed Shell. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 00:28, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

== Focus Band code. ==

Are there any checks or surprises that explicitly prevent Focus Band from activating an infinite number of times in a row on a lucky day? --[[User:PLA|PLA]] 19:14, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
:I don't think there is, but you would have to be seriously lucky for it to occur. I know that it can activate multiple times in the same battle - I once had an opponent saved twice in a row by the Focus Band. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:09, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

== Generation III ==

Ok, here's the deal. All of the Items Introduced prior to Gen.IV games except Berserk Gene, Amulet Coin, and Smoke Ball, ARE purchasable in Pokémon Colosseum's and/or Pokémon XD's [[Mt. Battle]] via [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]], but they are not being mentioned here. I just want to know if it's worth it. -- [[User:SaitoFX|Saito]] [[User talk:SaitoFX|FX]] 21:34, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

== Lagging Tail ==

Besides using Switch with this item to give it to your opponent, there are reasons to want YOUR Pokémon to go last. If your Pokémon knows a move like Avalanche or Revenge, they do more damage when your Pokémon is hurt during the current turn. This means they have to go second at least in order to get the bonus damage.

== Metronome (item) ==

Does it affect moves such as Outrage? --[[User:Slimmy|Slimmy]] 00:07, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
: I don't think so, Outrage does not appear in {{cat|Swipe moves}} [[User:Piotr mil|Piotr mil]] 20:36, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
:: That, if anything, means that it could work. Swipe moves don't benefit from Metronome with each hit. [[User:PLA|PLA]] 20:42, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Does it reset after you use an item or only when the ''pokemon'' uses another move? [[User:Stephens2424|Stephens2424]] 06:44, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

== Rechargable Battery and Red Card ==

It says they're single-use items. Does "single-use" mean if the affect happens, it won't happen again for the rest of the battle, OR does it mean it's "consumed" and goes away, lost forever? [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 14:58, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
:The general meaning of "single-use" is that they are consumed and gone forever. As far as I'm aware, this has not changed in Gen V (i.e. no one's told me otherwise). —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 06:58, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
::Then it should be made clear, since "single-use" isn't the same as "consumed," as every other blurb on Gen IV items and older make clear. If they vanish, they should be noted as "consumed," only because if I can express confusion on the aspect, so can other people. If they vanish, they vanish. If they only work once per battle but don't vanish, that needs to be definitively noted, too. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 04:54, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
:::In general, consumed things are only consumed if you use them outside of wifi/IR battles or battle frontier/subway/tower etc. You can reuse them as many times as you want there {{unsigned|Pyritie}}

They're in a currently-Japan-only game! WHY DID YOU NOT INPUT THE JAPANESE NAMES? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:46, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

== expert belt location black and white ==

expert belt is found in drift veil city in market when you have a pokemon over lvl 30. guy with glasses for those who are still searching :/. I thought I would mention that because expert belt does not have a location for black and white in article so just saying.[[User:T3thegreat|T3thegreat]] 20:28, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
