Pocket

This determines which pocket of the bag the item should be stored in.

Number Item type
1 Main pocket
2 Poké Ball
3 TMs and HMs
4 Berries
5 Key items

Type

For items other than Poké Balls, the type determines how the item can be used. With Poké Balls, the type indicates the Poké Ball type, and is one less than the index number.

Type Description
0 Mail
1 Items which can be used out-of-battle.
2 Items which must be used in a certain location; key items of this type can be assigned to select.
3 Only the Pokéblock case is of this type.
4 Items which cannot be used out-of-battle.

Mystery values

Mystery value 1 is:

  • 0 for normal items.
  • 1 for HMs and most key items.
  • 2 for some plot-related key items: Devon Goods, Letter, Red Orb, Blue Orb and Oak's Parcel.

Mystery value 2 is:

  • 0 for most items.
  • 1 for many key items: Mach Bike, Itemfinder, Old Rod, Good Rod, Super Rod, Acro Bike, Pokéblock Case, Bicycle, Town Map, VS Seeker, Fame Checker, TM Case, Berry Pouch, Teachy TV, Tri-Pass, Rainbow Pass, Tea, Mysticticket, Auroraticket, Powder Jar, Ruby, Sapphire, Magma Emblem and Old Sea Map.

Battle usage

Battle usage can be:

  • 0 if the item can't be used in battle at all.
  • 1 if the item's effect is seen during battle but on a subscreen, such as healing items.
  • 2 if the item's effect is seen in battle such as Poké Balls.

Extra parameter

Extra parameter is used to distinguish Poké Balls and Mails, as opposed to just using the item index.
