Event item

An event item is a unique type of item in the Pokémon core series. They could be obtained from limited special events in real life, some through direct means and others in the form of a held item of a Pokémon received from the distribution. Since several are impossible to acquire through official means without trading, many use cheating devices to obtain these items illegitimately. In many cases, an event item opens access to locations that are inaccessible otherwise.
Event items first appeared in Japanese releases of only, since receiving them was done via the Mobile System GB service, which has been discontinued since and was never localized outside of Japan. Event items become more common by Generation III, which was when they began to be distributed in regions outside of Japan.
