This page lists the most popular or most sought-after Hold Items in Pokémon Unbound, along with their in-game descriptions and how to get them.

Please note that this page does not catalog every single Held Item in the game, because that information is not well documented anywhere. Instead, this page is a work in progress of the majority of held items that most players want to know about. We have also listed all of the location(s) for each that we know of, but there may be some locations that are missing or not accounted for.

Additionally, the locations in the table below primarily focus on repeatable ways to acquire these items. Many of these items can also be found as one-time items in the overworld, but we have not cataloged those locations here. For that you may want to search this wiki, or browse our location pages to look at the list of items found in each location.

Note: If you are looking for a list of all the Held Items that can be found on Wild Pokemon then we have a separate page for that.
