A '''battle item''' is, as its name implies, an [[item]] given to a [[Pokémon]] during {{pkmn|battle}} to enhance its performance. These battle items, however, wear off after a battle or when the Pokémon is switched out.
A '''battle item''' is, as its name implies, an [[item]] given to a {{obp|Pokémon|species}} during {{pkmn|battle}} to enhance its stats. Like the stat-raising effects of moves like {{m|Howl}} and {{m|Agility}}, the stat rise is only temporary. These items cannot be used on a Pokémon if the specific stat is already raised by six levels.

A battle item is, as its name implies, an item given to a Pokémon during battle to enhance its stats. Like the stat-raising effects of moves like Howl and Agility, the stat rise is only temporary. These items cannot be used on a Pokémon if the specific stat is already raised by six levels.
