The first type-enhancing item to be introduced was Charcoal in ''[[EP145|A Farfetch'd Tale]]''. Though the significance of Charcoal was explained in detail, and {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were given some Charcoal as a gift, its Fire-enhancing properties were not revealed.

A Mystic Water was the prize for winning at the [[Whirl Cup]] in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''.

A Dragon Fang appeared in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'' as the treasure of [[Clair]]'s family, kept in [[Blackthorn Gym]]. It is the fang of an ancient dragon Pokémon that terrorised [[Blackthorn City]]. The Dragon Fang is part of a ritual with the purpose of bringing peace to all {{type|Dragon}} 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 {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. Another Dragon Fang appeared in ''[[AG112|Showdown At Linoone]]'' as one of the items {{DL|Kimmy Shoney|Tokin}} {{a|Pickup|picked up}}.

A Black Belt and a Twisted Spoon appeared in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'' as items looked for during a scavenger hunt. A Never-Melt Ice was also looked for, but the boy looking for it only found regular ice.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

In ''[[PS170|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 [[Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Suicune, Entei, and Raikou]], respectively. Notably, the Magnet that appeared was a {{wp|lodestone}} rather than a horseshoe magnet as seen in the games, due to the fact that this round was released before the Magnet was given a sprite in the games.

In ''[[PS382|Vexing Vespiquen & Unmanageable Mothim II]]'', {{adv|Diamond}} found a Metal Coat in [[Byron]]'s vacation home on [[Iron Island]] and subsequently gave it to his [[Don|Shieldon]] to hold.

* Charcoal is the only item available for purchase in [[Azalea Town#Poké Mart|a regular store]]. Some other type-enhancing items can also be purchased, but only from [[Game Corner]]s.

* Pixie Plate is currently the only type-enhancing item that enhances the power of {{type|Fairy}} attacks.
