A '''Feather''' (Japanese: '''ハネ''' ''feather''), known as a '''Wing''' prior to [[Generation VIII]], is a type of [[item]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. They are used to boost the [[stat]]s of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Pokémon, except the [[Pretty Feather]], which is instead a [[valuable item]].

==In the games==
===Mechanics===
The first six Feathers each provide one {{EV|effort value}} (EV) in a particular stat. This consumes the Feather.

Unlike [[vitamin]]s, which prior to [[Generation VIII]] cannot be used if the Pokémon already has more than 100 EVs in that stat, Feathers can be used until the Pokémon had the maximum number of EVs in that stat or cannot receive any additional EVs.

The seventh feather, the [[Pretty Feather]], has no functional use. Its only purpose is [[valuable item|to be sold]].

===Acquisition===
In [[Generation V]], they can be found in {{DL|Phenomenon|Flying Pokémon's shadow}}s on the [[Driftveil Drawbridge]] and [[Marvelous Bridge]], or as rewards for earning low ranks in the [[Battle Institute]] or clearing areas in [[Black Tower]]/[[White Treehollow]].

In [[Generation VI]], they can be obtained from {{DL|Super Training|Super Secret Training}}. They could also be obtained from the [[PokéMileage Club]] minigame, {{DL|PokéMileage Club|Graffiti Eraser}}.

In [[Generation VII]], they can occasionally be dropped by certain Pokémon found in [[ambush encounter]]s.

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, they can be found on bridges, on {{rt|5|Galar}}, in [[Motostoke Outskirts]]. In the {{FB|Pokémon Sword and Shield|Expansion Pass}}, they can also be found in the [[Isle of Armor]]'s [[Honeycalm Sea]] and the [[Crown Tundra]]'s [[Frigid Sea]].

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, they can be found as sparkling overworld items on the surface of [[Casseroya Lake]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Iris Wings.png|thumb|250px|Wings in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
In ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!]]'', a full set of wings was announced to be the prize for winning the [[Club Battle]]. In ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'', the set of wings was won by {{an|Iris}}, who later sent them to the [[Village of Dragons]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}====
In ''[[PS526|Mr. Perfect]]'', {{adv|Magician}} gave {{adv|Blake}} a pack of wings he had requested from him. In ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]'', Blake revealed that he had given a Resist Wing and [[Rare Candy]] to his {{TP|Blake|Dewott}} just before heading to battle {{TP|Blake|Genesect}}, boosting his defenses just enough for him to be able to survive an {{type|Electric}} {{m|Techno Blast}}.
