New held items in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Pokemon in your party can each hold one item to be used in a battle. With the inclusion of held items, trainers can plan and execute complex strategies in Pokemon battles. Held items act as a hidden trick up a trainer’s sleeve, and the element of surprise in a Pokemon battle is invaluable.

Item Name Effect
Booster Energy An item to be held by Pokémon with certain Abilities. The energy that fills this capsule boosts the strength of the Pokémon.
Ability Shield This cute and rather unique-looking shield protects the holder from having its Ability changed by others.
Clear Amulet This clear, sparkling amulet protects the holder from having its stats lowered by moves used against it or by other Pokémon’s Abilities.
Mirror Herb This herb will allow the holder to mirror an opponent’s stat increases to boost its own stats—but only once.
Punching Glove This protective glove boosts the power of the holder’s punching moves and prevents direct contact with targets.
Covert Cloak This hooded cloak conceals the holder, tricking the eyes of its enemies and protecting it from the additional effects of moves.
Loaded Dice This loaded dice always rolls a good number, and holding one can ensure that the holder’s multistrike moves hit more times.
