A [[Mystic Water]] was the prize given to [[Whirl Cup winner|the winner]] of the [[Whirl Cup]] in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''. | |||
A [[Dragon Fang]] first appeared in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'' as the treasure of [[Clair]]'s family, kept in the [[Blackthorn Gym]]. It is the fang of an ancient {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon that terrorized [[Blackthorn City]]. The Dragon Fang is part of a ritual with the purpose of bringing peace to all Dragon-type Pokémon. The ritual involves the Blackthorn [[Gym Leader]] placing it on a special ceremonial table, then pouring water over it, causing a light dragon to burst out of it and rise into the sky. Legend says that this light dragon becomes a star and watches over all Dragon-type Pokémon. In ''[[EP252|Fangs for Nothin']]'', {{TRT}} stole the Dragon Fang from [[Dragon Holy Land]], interrupting Ash and Clair's {{pkmn|battle}} at the Blackthorn Gym.

** Between Generations II and VIII, [[Black Glasses]] have the lowest number of games in which wild Pokémon hold the respective item and also has the lowest number in both evolutionary line and particular species that hold their respective item in the wild, appearing only on wild {{p|Krokorok}} encountered in [[Haina Desert]]. | |||
** Between Generations II and VIII, Poison Barb has the highest number in both evolutionary line lines and particular species that hold their respective item in the wild, with 10 family lines with 16 species.

A type-enhancing item, when held, enhances the power of attacks with the corresponding type. From Generation IV onward, these items boost the power of moves of the corresponding type by 20%; prior to Generation IV, they give boosts of 10%.

Charcoal appeared in A Farfetch'd Tale. While traveling through Ilex Forest, Ash and his friends met a boy named Sylvester, who was trying to follow in his teacher's (father in the dub) footsteps in order to learn how to make "purifying charcoal". Brock explained that purifying charcoal is actually burnt wood, which can be used as fuel or to purify water and air. At the end of the episode, Ash and his friends received some charcoal as a gift.
A Mystic Water was the prize given to the winner of the Whirl Cup in The Perfect Match!.
A Dragon Fang first appeared in Beauty is Skin Deep as the treasure of Clair's family, kept in the Blackthorn Gym. It is the fang of an ancient Dragon Pokémon that terrorized Blackthorn City. The Dragon Fang is part of a ritual with the purpose of bringing peace to all Dragon-type Pokémon. The ritual involves the Blackthorn Gym Leader placing it on a special ceremonial table, then pouring water over it, causing a light dragon to burst out of it and rise into the sky. Legend says that this light dragon becomes a star and watches over all Dragon-type Pokémon. In Fangs for Nothin', Team Rocket stole the Dragon Fang from Dragon Holy Land, interrupting Ash and Clair's battle at the Blackthorn Gym. It was successfully recovered from them in the following episode.

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc
In The Last Battle IV, during the final battle against the Masked Man, Misty, Blaine, and Lt. Surge used Mystic Water, Charcoal, and Magnet to power up the moves of Suicune, Entei, and Raikou, respectively. Notably, the Magnet that appeared was a lodestone rather than a horseshoe magnet as seen in the games, due to the fact that this chapter was released before the Magnet was given a sprite in the games.
Diamond & Pearl arc
In Vexing Vespiquen & Unmanageable Mothim II, Diamond found a Metal Coat in Byron's vacation home on Iron Island and subsequently gave it to his Shieldon, Don, to hold.

Trivia
- Charcoal is the only item available for purchase in a regular Poké Mart. Some other type-enhancing items can also be purchased, but only from Game Corners.
- Metal Coat is the only other item available for purchase between Generations I and VII. It is available for purchase in Black City in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.
- Prior to The Teal Mask, the Pixie Plate was the only type-enhancing item that enhances the power of Fairy-type attacks.
- Outside of wild Pokémon held items and the Stow-on-Side bargain shop, Hard Stone and Metal Coat have the most unique ways of repeated acquisition than any other type-enhancing item:
- From Generation II to Generation VIII (excluding Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!), only Poison Barb has been held by at least one wild Pokémon available in every core series game. Hard Stone, Metal Coat, and Soft Sand are nearly as obtainable via wild Pokémon, missing only in one set of games each: Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal for Hard Stone, and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen for Metal Coat and Soft Sand.
- Between Generations II and VIII, Black Glasses have the lowest number of games in which wild Pokémon hold the respective item and also has the lowest number in both evolutionary line and particular species that hold their respective item in the wild, appearing only on wild Krokorok encountered in Haina Desert.
- Between Generations II and VIII, Poison Barb has the highest number in both evolutionary line lines and particular species that hold their respective item in the wild, with 10 family lines with 16 species. The next closest are Hard Stone (7 lines, 11 species), Spell Tag (6 lines, 10 species), and Metal Coat (5 lines, 10 species).
- In Generation II, if the selected move is boosted by the proper type-enhancing item, but fails due to confusion, then that item boosts confusion damage as well.
