* Prior to The Teal Mask, the Pixie Plate was the only type-enhancing item that enhances the power of attacks.

Hard Stone, Metal Coat, and Soft Sand are nearly as obtainable via wild Pokémon, missing only in one set of games each: for Hard Stone, and for Metal Coat and Soft Sand. 
** Between Generations II and VIII, Black Glasses have the lowest number of games in which wild Pokémon hold the respective item and also has the lowest number in both evolutionary line and particular species that hold their respective item in the wild, appearing only on wild encountered in Haina Desert.
** Between Generations II and VIII, Poison Barb has the highest number in both evolutionary line lines and particular species that hold their respective item in the wild, with 10 family lines with 16 species. The next closest are Hard Stone (7 lines, 11 species), Spell Tag (6 lines, 10 species), and Metal Coat (5 lines, 10 species).
