New Items

In addition to the plethora of items you've come to know and love in the canon regions, the various regions in this project have their own interesting tools and trinkets, all detailed here. In some cases I may have tweaked an existing, canon item so that I think it works better or makes more sense.

Most of these item sprites are edits of in-game item images, so all credit for the originals goes to Game Freak et al.

General Items

Miscellaneous items with various purposes.

Crest Fossil

A fossil from a prehistoric Pokémon that once lived on the land. It looks as if it could be part of a crest.

Scientists in Versorecto City can take this fossil and use it to create a Dyrascal. Paleontology students working on Fulgurok Island are currently finding and studying a fair number of of these fossils.

Hammer Fossil

A fossil from a prehistoric Pokémon that once lived on the land. It is thick and heavy like a hammer.

Scientists somewhere in Faelan can take this fossil and use it to create a Mjolmi.

Restorative Items

Items that restore lost HP and cure negative status conditions.

Cro-Cola

A delicious natural-sugar soft drink made and sold in Dia City. It can be used once to heal all the status conditions of a Pokémon.

A specialty soft drink maker in Dia City makes these cane sugar sodas and distributes them in the city's vending machines. The sweet, fizzy drink can instantly revitalize a Pokémon that is feeling unwell, restoring any confusion or major status conditions it may be suffering. Each can has a depiction of an adorable Crocoal mascot.

Note: Thanks to Chronicler for this idea.

Held Items

Pokémon can hold these items and use them during battle.

Arcanite

One of a variety of mysterious Mega Stones. Have Arcanine hold it, and this stone will enable it to Mega Evolve during battle.

If its trainer has a Key Stone and a Mega Item, Arcanine can use this in battle to Mega Evolve into Mega Arcanine.

Berserk Gene

A capsule of mysterious genetic material. It sends the holder into a rage, sharply boosting its Attack but leaving it disoriented.

As soon as the holder enters battle or receives the item in-battle (via Trick, for example) it becomes confused and its Attack rises by two stages; the item is consumed afterward. Pokémon with Own Tempo will not activate either of Berserk Gene's effects when being sent out. A Basculin or Buneary that is traded while holding this item will evolve (into Siamacho or Jackravage, respectively), after which the item will be consumed.

This is a specialty item that is only produced by Connor of Dia City's Fabulous Items 'R' Us. Only by him, only there. It's totally brand new and he totally came up with it just for his store. No, you haven't seen them associated with certain unscrupulous people in Johto somewhere. Stop spreading filthy lies about perfectly honest and aboveboard small businesses.

Note: Despite what Connor may want you to believe, Berserk Gene is a canon item that originally existed in GSC but was removed in subsequent generations. I thought it was an interesting idea, so I've brought it back for an encore.

Berserk Helm

A strange helmet that alters the wearer's thought patterns, sending it into a wild rage and sharply boosting its Attack but leaving it disoriented.

As soon as the holder enters battle or receives the item in-battle (via Trick, for example) it becomes confused and its Attack rises by two stages. If the confusion is cured, Berserk Helm will not confuse the holder again until it leaves and reenters battle (or loses the item and receives it again). Pokémon with Own Tempo will not activate either of Berserk Helm's effects when being sent out.

Like the Berserk Gene, these can only be bought in Fabulous Items 'R' Us.

Note: ...in fact, I thought the Berserk Gene was so interesting that I wanted to see what a non-consumable version would be like as well. Note that this item will not evolve Basculin or Buneary.

Black Jewel

An item to be held by Seviper or Seviron. It is a dark, sparkling stone that boosts the power of Poison-type moves.

When held by Seviper or Seviron, Black Jewel increases the power of Poison-type moves by 30%. A Seviper that is traded while holding this item will evolve into Seviron, after which the item will be consumed.

Brave Bracer

A mysterious armband that causes a certain Pokémon to evolve. It is tattered and worn from use in many battles.

A Quimpy that is traded while holding this item will evolve into Valazman, after which the item will be consumed. (Quimpy can also evolve by leveling up with 171+ Toughness.)

Chantirrinite

One of a variety of mysterious Mega Stones. Have Chantirrus hold it, and this stone will enable it to Mega Evolve during battle.

If its trainer has a Key Stone and a Mega Item, Chantirrus can use this in battle to Mega Evolve into Mega Chantirrus.

Desert Crook

An item to be held by Maaphix. A mysterious artifact shaped like a shepherd's crook, it raises the Attack stat.

When held by Maaphix, Desert Crook doubles its Attack. A Maaphix that grows to level 35 or higher while holding this item will evolve into Khersin, after which the item will be consumed.

Desert Flail

An item to be held by Maaphix. A mysterious artifact shaped like an overseer's flail, it raises the Sp. Atk stat.

When held by Maaphix, Desert Flail doubles its Special Attack. A Maaphix that grows to level 35 or higher while holding this item will evolve into Imhatan, after which the item will be consumed.

Elite Scale

A mysterious scale that causes a certain Pokémon to evolve. It is tough, shiny and sought after by collectors.

A Lamanda that is traded while holding this item will evolve into Marvelisk, after which the item will be consumed. (Lamanda can also evolve by leveling up with 171+ Coolness.)

Gilded Crown

A beautiful, golden crown of leaves to be held by Athlauria. It gradually restores Athlauria's HP throughout a battle.

When held by Athlauria, Gilded Crown changes Athlauria into its Honor Forme and restores Athlauria's HP by 1/16 its maximum value at the end of each turn in battle.

Khargonite

One of a variety of mysterious Mega Stones. Have Khargonaut hold it, and this stone will enable it to Mega Evolve during battle.

If its trainer has a Key Stone and a Mega Item, Khargonaut can use this in battle to Mega Evolve into Mega Khargonaut.

Logos Stone

A mystical stone inscribed with Unown-like characters that spell out strange words. Certain species of Pokémon may react to its presence.

Using a Logos Stone on a Xatu, a Galorindle or a Makima will cause it to evolve (into Nahualatu, Galoryph or Makitaku, respectively). When this item is generated, a random stat (from Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed) is selected. From that point on, whenever that Logos Stone is held by any Pokémon other than Unown and that Pokémon is sent out, the selected stat is increased by 30%. When held by an Unown and that Unown is sent into battle, Unown's Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed are all increased by 1 level (as though by a move like Ancient Power), regardless of the selected stat.

Ninetalesite

One of a variety of mysterious Mega Stones. Have Ninetales hold it, and this stone will enable it to Mega Evolve during battle.

If its trainer has a Key Stone and a Mega Item, Ninetales can use this in battle to Mega Evolve into Mega Ninetales.

Ramferite

One of a variety of mysterious Mega Stones. Have Ramfere hold it, and this stone will enable it to Mega Evolve during battle.

If its trainer has a Key Stone and a Mega Item, Ramfere can use this in battle to Mega Evolve into Mega Ramfere.

Sage Crystal

A Derfin that is traded while holding this item will evolve into Encanoto, after which the item will be consumed. (Derfin can also evolve by leveling up with 171+ Cleverness.)

Snow Crown

A mysterious crown that causes a certain Pokémon to evolve. It glitters prettily in the light.

A Cubly that is traded while holding this item will evolve into Arctangel, after which the item will be consumed. (Cubly can also evolve by leveling up with 171+ Cuteness.)

White Jewel

An item to be held by Zangoose or Zanthera. It is a pale, sparkling stone that boosts the power of Normal-type moves.

When held by Zangoose or Zanthera, White Jewel increases the power of Normal-type moves by 30%. A Zangoose that is traded while holding this item will evolve into Zanthera, after which the item will be consumed.

Wilted Crown

A broken, wilted crown of leaves to be held by Athlauria. It may allow Athlauria to endure a potential KO attack with 1 HP remaining.

When held by Athlauria, Wilted Crown changes Athlauria into its Guile Forme and has a 10% chance to allow Athlauria to endure an attack that would have knocked it out in battle.

Pokémon capture and containment devices.

Coach Ball

A somewhat different Poké Ball that makes it easier for Pokémon to learn and grow.

Faraday Ball

A somewhat different Poké Ball that works especially well on Electric- and Steel-type Pokémon.

Lure Ball

A Poké Ball that is good for catching Pokémon that you reel in with a Rod while out fishing.

A Poké Ball hand-crafted from an Apricorn. Has a 4× catch rate when used on a Pokémon that has been hooked by a fishing rod and a 1× catch rate otherwise.

Note: The Lure Ball's catch rate has been elevated from its canon 3×. Otherwise it becomes obsoleted by the Dusk Ball, which not only has a better catch rate at 3.5× but can take advantage of that better catch rate in a wider range of situations, including battles with hooked Pokémon (as long as they're at night/in caves).

Net Ball

A somewhat different Poké Ball that is more effective when attempting to catch Water- or Bug-type Pokémon.

A specialty Poké Ball created by Devon. Has a 4× catch rate when used on a Bug- or Water-type Pokémon and a 1× catch rate otherwise.

Note: The Net Ball's catch rate has been elevated from its canon 3×. Otherwise it becomes obsoleted by the Dusk Ball, which not only has a better catch rate at 3.5× but can take advantage of that better catch rate in a wider range of situations, including battles with Bug- and Water-types (as long as they're at night/in caves).

Refresh Ball

A somewhat different Poké Ball with healing properties that refreshes a Pokémon after battle.

A specialty Poké Ball created by DiCadria Enterprises. Has a 1× catch rate. If a Pokémon in a Refresh Ball is afflicted with a major status condition (i.e., is asleep, burned, frozen, paralyzed or poisoned), that status condition is cured after the battle ends.

A specialty Poké Ball created by DiCadria Enterprises.

Note: Thanks to Chronicler for the sprite.
