Item directory

Poké Ball inventory sprite

Pokédex records

Seen and caught are different records. Explore routes at different times and revisit areas after gaining field moves.

Explorer Kit inventory sprite

Underground treasures

Digging in the Underground turns exploration into a fossil and treasure hunt. Keep useful finds rather than selling everything immediately; a fossil is a potential Pokémon as well as a collected object.

TM01 inventory sprite

TMs and held items

Treat one-use TMs as a limited collection. Store useful held items and compare their effects with your team before spending rare resources.

Quick notes

  • Seen, caught and evolved need different plans. A species seen in a trainer battle can help the regional seen record without becoming a caught entry.
  • Digging and catching use different resources. Underground digging produces fossils, spheres and other treasures through its own activity.
