From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
This is a list of all the Key Items that are found in Generation IV. Please note that some of these are also part of the list of Key Items in Generation II due to Pokémon Gold and Silver being remade, and several appear in multiple generations.
Some items are specific to a certain region, while others can be found in both Sinnoh and Johto/Kanto.
