This section will detail common and rare items, their locations, and strategic applications to aid you on your journey to become a Pokémon Master.

Poké Balls & Catching Aids

These essential items are your primary tools for expanding your Pokémon team. Stock up whenever possible!

• Poké Ball: The most basic and common Poké Ball.
  • Location: Available for purchase at any Poké Mart from the start of the game (e.g., Viridian City Poké Mart for 100 Pokédollars). Often found as hidden items or visible pickups on various routes (e.g., Route 1, Route 2).
  • Strategy: Best used on weaker or already weakened Pokémon. Always carry a good supply.
• Great Ball: A more effective Poké Ball than the standard Poké Ball.

  • Strategy: Ideal for catching mid-level Pokémon or stronger wild Pokémon that are still at full health.
• Ultra Ball: The most powerful standard Poké Ball, offering the highest catch rate.
  • Location: Available for purchase at Poké Marts after obtaining several Gym Badges (e.g., Celadon City Poké Mart for 800 Pokédollars). Frequently found in late-game areas and challenging dungeons (e.g., Victory Road).
  • Strategy: Reserve these for rare, strong, or Legendary Pokémon. Combine with status effects (sleep, paralysis) for maximum effectiveness.
• Lure: Increases the encounter rate of rare and strong Pokémon for a limited time.
  • Location: Can be purchased at Poké Marts (e.g., Cerulean City Poké Mart for 400 Pokédollars). Occasionally found as hidden items in grassy areas.
