View source for Power item

'''Power items''' are [[held item]]s that award a Pokémon additional specific {{EV}}s whenever the Pokémon would normally earn EVs in battle, but halves {{stat|Speed}} of the Pokémon while it holds the item. They all debuted in [[Generation IV]].

===Mechanics===
{{MoveResearch|Effect of Knock Off, Fling, and item-moving effects (such as Thief, Bestow, Symbiosis) on the EV-boosting effect}}
If a Pokémon holding a Power item gains [[experience]] from a battle, the Power item awards it additional EVs in a specific stat (in addition to the EVs it would normally earn). From [[Generation IV]] to {{gen|VI}}, they grant 4 extra {{EV}}s; in [[Generation VII]] onward, they grant 8 EVs. The EVs granted by Power items are doubled by the effect of [[Pokérus]].

Additionally, any Pokémon holding a Power item has its Speed halved while it is holding the item.

From {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} onward, if either Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] or [[Pokémon Nursery]] holds a Power item, that parent passes down its {{IV}} in that respective stat to {{pkmn|Egg}}s it produces; {{stat|HP}} for [[Power Weight]], {{stat|Attack}} for [[Power Bracer]], and so on.

===Acquisition===
Power items can normally be purchased with [[Battle Point]]s at [[battle facility|battle facilities]].

In [[Generation VI]], all of the Power items could be obtained from the [[PokéMileage Club]] minigame {{DL|PokéMileage Club|Graffiti Eraser}}.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, they can be purchased with BP at the [[Battle Royal Dome]], but not at the [[Battle Tree]]. In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, they can be purchased from the BP Shop in [[Hammerlocke]] instead of the region's respective [[Battle Tower (Galar)|battle facility]].

In [[Generation IX]], all of the Power items are purchasable from the General Goods section of Delibird Presents in [[Mesagoza]], [[Levincia]], and [[Cascarrafa]] for {{pdollar}}10,000 each.

==Trivia==
* These items, particularly the fact that they halve the holder's Speed, may have been inspired by the [[Macho Brace]], an item introduced in [[Generation III]] that doubles all EVs a Pokémon gains but halves its Speed while held.
