Held items are items attached to a Pokémon that provide an effect while it is in battle or sometimes outside battle. They can restore health, increase damage, change move behavior, protect against a status condition, extend weather, or support a particular strategy. Most Pokémon can hold one item at a time. The best item depends on the Pokémon’s job: a defensive Pokémon may value recovery, while an offensive one may value extra power or speed. Some items are consumed after activation, and some are restricted in particular competitive formats. Always check whether an item is available in the game you are playing.
