Held items
One item per Pokémon, and what each one does.
Each Pokémon can hold one item. Give or take items from the party screen, outside battle. Held items stay with the Pokémon through the PC Box and through trades.
Wild Pokémon sometimes hold items of their own; the chances are on each species' Pokédex page. Catch one and its item goes into your bag. Thief steals the opponent's item during a wild battle.
