From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
An exchangeable item is a category of item which serves no in-game purpose aside from being able to be traded for another item or some sort of service. Though several key items fall under this category (such as Generation I and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen's Bike Voucher), their exchange is often important to the story of the games, so they are not included here.

Shards
- Main article: Shard
These items, also introduced in Generation III, come in different colors: red, blue, green, and yellow. They can be exchanged for the elemental evolutionary stones in Hoenn, and in groups of ten or four for the TMs containing weather-modifying moves or special move tutor moves (the latter only in Pokémon Platinum) in Sinnoh. They can be found lying around in certain areas, held by certain Pokémon, or in the Underground of Sinnoh. They can also be traded in for certain berries from Jugglers found in Violet and Fuchsia.
Apricorns
- Main article: Apricorn
These items are exclusive to Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. There are several different colors, and they can be made into different Poké Balls by Kurt in Azalea Town.

Trivia
- Heart Scales are Luvdisc scales.
- The move relearner in FireRed and LeafGreen Versions was changed to accept Mushrooms instead of Heart Scales due to the lack of Luvdisc in Kanto and the Sevii Islands, as well as the abundance of Paras and Parasect.
- Due to a mistake in the Nintendo Power Pokémon Diamond and Pearl guide, there was a rumor that the Shoal Salt functions like the Leftovers. However, multiple tests in-game have shown that the Shoal Salt does nothing; it is in fact the Shell Bell that functions similarly to Leftovers, itself created in Generation III from four Shoal Salts and four Shoal Shells.
