If you want to get the most out of your Pokemon team, then you need to use items. Items are in-game items that you can find or buy that will help to boost your Pokemon’s abilities when in battle. There is a long list of items, many of which can be used for basic boosts, or if you’re into the competitive scene, there are even end-game items that can be used in complicated strategies. Below we go over every held item in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, where to find them, and what they do in battle.
