Item directory

TM Normal — Pokémon Black / White
Flexible move selection

Reusable TMs

Generation V makes ordinary TMs reusable. Experiment with coverage between battles, but remember that overwriting a move can still require a reminder service to recover it.

C-Gear — Pokémon Black / White
Communication features

C-Gear

Several features were designed around connectivity. The main story does not require historical online services, so distinguish local adventure objectives from discontinued network activities.

Dowsing Machine — Pokémon Black / White
Hidden pickups

Dowsing Machine

Hidden pickups. Use directional clues during exploration.

Lucky Egg — Pokémon Black / White
Experience boost

Lucky Egg

Give this to the Pokémon you are actively developing. Rotate it between trainees; it is a training choice rather than an automatic best item for a boss.

Eviolite — Pokémon Black / White
Defensive held item

Eviolite

It benefits Pokémon that can still evolve. Check eligibility before equipping it to a fully evolved partner, and compare the defensive benefit with evolving the Pokémon.

Fire Stone — Pokémon Black / White
Species-specific evolution

Evolution stones

Species-specific evolution. Use the correct stone only after checking the Pokémon’s move-learning plan.

Quick notes

  • A reusable TM still needs a good recipient. Because teaching a TM does not consume it in Generation V, you can try coverage on more than one compatible teammate.
