Mechanics

Reason: Effect of Knock Off, Fling, and item-moving effects (such as Thief, Bestow, Symbiosis) on the EV-boosting effect
You can discuss this on the talk page.

If a Pokémon holding a Power item gains experience from a battle, the Power item awards it additional EVs in a specific stat (in addition to the EVs it would normally earn). From Generation IV to VI, they grant 4 extra EVs; in Generation VII onward, they grant 8 EVs. The EVs granted by Power items are doubled by the effect of Pokérus.

Additionally, any Pokémon holding a Power item has its Speed halved while it is holding the item.

From Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver onward, if either Pokémon in the Pokémon Day Care or Pokémon Nursery holds a Power item, that parent passes down its IV in that respective stat to Eggs it produces; HP for Power Weight, Attack for Power Bracer, and so on.

Acquisition

Power items can normally be purchased with Battle Points at battle facilities.

In Generation VI, all of the Power items could be obtained from the PokéMileage Club minigame Graffiti Eraser.

In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, they can be purchased with BP at the Battle Royal Dome, but not at the Battle Tree. In Pokémon Sword and Shield, they can be purchased from the BP Shop in Hammerlocke instead of the region's respective battle facility.

In Generation IX, all of the Power items are purchasable from the General Goods section of Delibird Presents in Mesagoza, Levincia, and Cascarrafa for $10,000 each.

Trivia

  • These items, particularly the fact that they halve the holder's Speed, may have been inspired by the Macho Brace, an item introduced in Generation III that doubles all EVs a Pokémon gains but halves its Speed while held.
