This is a list of all the [[Key Item]]s that are found in [[Generation IV]]. Several of these are also [[list of Key Items (Generation II)|Generation II Key Items]] due to {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} being [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remade]], and several appear in multiple generations.
''This article contains the item, the "Secret Key", related to {{p|Rotom}}. For the seperate item in [[Kanto]], see [[List of key items in Generation III|here]] and [[List of key items in Generation I|here]].''


This is a list of all [[key items]] that are found in [[Generation IV]]. Note that some of these [[items]] – notably the [[Azure Flute]], [[Member Card]], and [[Oak's Letter]] – cannot yet be obtained legitimately in English-language games.
Some items are specific to a certain region, while others can be found in both [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]]/[[Kanto]].
