A '''valuable item''' is an [[item]] which generally serves no practical purpose other than to be sold, usually for a high price.
A '''valuable item''' is an [[item]] which generally serves no practical purpose other than to be sold, usually for a high price.


In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}}, it is possible to buy some of these items for a discount (but only one of each per day) on Mondays in the morning in the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]]. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], some of these items are sold in [[Black City]], albeit for prices much higher than they can be sold for. Often, these items later become [[exchangeable item]]s. In [[Generation V]], [[mulch]]es and [[flute]]s became valuable items due to losing their function. While most of these items can be sold at [[Poké Mart]]s, those introduced in [[Generation V]] can only be sold to certain [[item maniac]]s. Besides Big Nuggets, Pearl Strings and Comet Shards, the player can also sell normal Nuggets, Pearls and Big Pearls, Stardust and Star Pieces to the maniac inside the Icirrus Pokémon Center, for double the price presented below.

A valuable item is an item which generally serves no practical purpose other than to be sold, usually for a high price.

In Generation II and IV, it is possible to buy some of these items for a discount (but only one of each per day) on Mondays in the morning in the Goldenrod Tunnel. In Pokémon Black, some of these items are sold in Black City, albeit for prices much higher than they can be sold for. Often, these items later become exchangeable items. In Generation V, mulches and flutes became valuable items due to losing their function. While most of these items can be sold at Poké Marts, those introduced in Generation V can only be sold to certain item maniacs. Besides Big Nuggets, Pearl Strings, and Comet Shards, the player can also sell normal Nuggets, Pearls and Big Pearls, Stardust, and Star Pieces to the maniac inside the Icirrus Pokémon Center, for double the price presented below.
