A type-enhancing item, when held, enhances the power of attacks with the corresponding type. From Generation IV onward, these items boost the power of moves of the corresponding type by 20%; prior to Generation IV, they give boosts of 10%, except the Generation II-exclusive Polkadot Bow which gives a boost of 12.5%.

These items may be sold to Poké Marts for 50, with the exception of Charcoal, which fetches 4,900 in Poké Marts.

In Johto, several of these items can be obtained from the Week Siblings.
