A '''battle item''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|戦闘用|せんとうよう}}''' ''Battle use item'') is, as its name implies, an [[item]] given to a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} during {{pkmn|battle}} to enhance its [[Statistic|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.
==Effect==
There are two distinct types of battle items. The basic battle items introduced in [[Generation I]] each raise a particular stat by two [[Statistic#Stat modifiers|stages]] (one stage prior to Generation VII), with the exception of [[#Guard Spec.|Guard Spec.]] which protects the party from stat reductions for five turns.
A second type of battle item was unique to [[Generation V]], and can only be used in multiplayer battles via the [[Wonder Launcher]]. Many of these items are more powerful versions of the basic battle items, raising a particular stat by 2, 3, or 6 levels, while others have an effect on the ally of the Pokémon during whose turn the items are used.

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
X Attack, X Defense, and X Speed appear in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U as {{sbw|equipment}} that any of the five playable Pokémon can use. Each raises its respective stat while lowering another. While they will occasionally come with a special effect, the ones without effects come in three rarities: normal, Threefold, and Sixfold.
==={{g|Rumble World}}===
After rescuing a distressed Mii in an area, they will occasionally use X Attacks, X Defenses, X Speeds, or [[potion]]s. What they give out is chosen randomly upon being rescued. The X items boost the specified stat for some time.

In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', two [[Wonder Launcher]] battle items appeared as part of a movie named ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Wonder Fighters the Movie Part 24: The Mystery of the Wonder Launcher}}''. In the clip in the advertisement {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} saw, two Trainers battled using a {{p|Golurk}} and an {{p|Escavalier}} and used the Wonder Launchers to power up their Pokémon. The Wonder Fighter used an [[X Attack]] on her Golurk, while her opponent used an [[X Speed]] on his Escavalier.

==Trivia==
* There is no battle item that boosts the {{stat|evasion}} stat.
* The Japanese name of X Accuracy, which would normally be written in hiragana as よくあたる ''yoku ataru'', is instead written in katakana with a long "a" (ヨクアタール ''yoku atāru).
* Some Gym Leaders in [[Generation I]], as well as Trainers at the [[Petalburg Gym]], use these items. Various Trainers in {{game|Platinum}} onwards (usually {{tc|School Kid}}s and {{tc|Scientist}}s) use them occasionally.
* In Black and White, the Japanese name of Dire Hit was changed to be one character shorter so as to fit the numbers used for its upgrade items in the [[Wonder Launcher]].
* Except for Dire Hit 3, the [[Bag]] descriptions for the different variations of each stat-boosting battle item are identical and do not specify to what degree they raise the corresponding stat (most likely because this is evident from their names).
* The Bag descriptions for Dire Hit 2 and Dire Hit 3 include the additional text "each use increases the effect", which is not present in the descriptions of the other stat-boosting Wonder Launcher items.
* There is no battle item that boosts the critical hit ratio by six levels; this is because critical hit ratio levels only go up to five.
* In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, there is a [[Trainer Tips]] sign in [[Celadon City]] that states Guard Specs. decrease damage taken by Special attacks. This is incorrect, as Guard Specs. protect a Pokémon from having its stats lowered.
