Item Location
Poké Doll Near the entrance of the cemetery when you arrive from the West (from the direction of the Iron Ruins). Next to a row of gravestones that you have to go around.
Soothe Bell Next to some gravestones near a tree further in. There’s a Pokémon Den a short distance away.
TR33 Shadow Ball Inside the ruined building adjacent to the cemetery. When you enter the next room, check the corner on the right that’s surrounded by tall grass.

Hidden Items

This hold item boosts the damage of the user’s Ghost-type moves by 20%.

Item Location

Pearl String Turn so your back is facing the wall. Straight ahead, there’s the remains of a building. To the right of its entrance is a lone gravestone. Check it out if you’re brave. [Doesn’t respawn.]
