Type-enhancing item

Type-enhancing items, when held, will enhance the potency of attacks that correspond to the item by 10%. For example, if a Pokémon holds Mystic Water and uses a Water-type attack, the power of the Water-type attack will be increased by 10%. In D/P, this was changed to 20%.

If these items are sold, Poké Marts will pay File:Pokébuck sign.gif50 for them with the exception of Charcoal, for which Poké Marts will pay File:Pokébuck sign.gif4,900, and the Adamant/Lustrous Orbs for which Poké Marts will offer File:Pokébuck sign.gif5,000.

In Generation II, several of these items can only be obtained from the Weekday Siblings.
