Battle items like X Attack, X Defense, X Speed, and X Special temporarily boost a Pokémon's stats during battle. Guard Spec prevents stat reduction for five turns. Held items, introduced in Generation II but present in FRLG, provide passive benefits. Examples include Leftovers (restores HP each turn), Choice Band (boosts Attack but locks into one move), and various Berries that heal or reduce damage from specific types. Experiment with held items to optimize your battle strategy.
