==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In Generation II, there was one item that would power up each type, with the exception of the {{type2|Normal}}, 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.
* [[Charcoal]] is the only item available for purchase in [[Azalea Town#Poké Mart|a regular]] [[Poké Mart]]. Some other type-enhancing items can also be purchased, but only from [[Game Corner]]s.
* 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.
** [[Metal Coat]] is the only other item available for purchase between [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|VII}}. It is available for purchase in [[Black City]] in {{B2W2}}.
* Prior to [[The Teal Mask]], the [[Pixie Plate]] was the only type-enhancing item that enhances the power of {{type|Fairy}} 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: {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} for Hard Stone, and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} 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, appearing only in [[Alola]] in [[Generation VII]].
** Between Generations II and VIII, Black Glasses has the lowest number in both evolutionary family lines and particular species that hold their respective item in the wild, with just one species: {{p|Krokorok}}. It is only encountered in one Generation and [[region]], and in one location: [[Haina Desert]].
** Between Generations II and VIII, Poison Barb has the highest number in both evolutionary family 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 {{status|confusion}}, then that item boosts confusion damage as well.

Latest revision as of 11:30, 23 May 2024

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%.

In Johto, several of these items can be obtained from the Week Siblings.

In the anime

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 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.

A Dragon Fang appeared in Showdown At Linoone as one of the items Tokin had picked up.

A Black Belt and a Twisted Spoon appeared in Climbing the Tower of Success! as search items for the Wishing Bell Festival scavenger hunt. A piece of Never-Melt Ice was also a search item, but the boy looking for it only found regular ice.

In Currying Favor and Flavor!, Ash and Mallow found a Miracle Seed in a hollowed-out stump full of Berries in Lush Jungle while collecting ingredients for the "Akala Curry".

A Mystic Water appeared in Balloons, Brionne, and Belligerence!, where Kanoa found it from a sunken ship, giving it to Ida as a gift.

In Searching for Chivalry!, Wikstrom gave Goh's Scyther a Metal Coat, which was used to evolve it into Scizor by transferring it through a trade machine while holding it.

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.
