Gear and Items

Trainer Essentials

A number of items are absolutely essential to a Trainer’s

journey though the world of Pokémon. Usually, a Trainer

given a Pokémon for the first time by a sponsoring

Professor or the Pokémon League organization will

be given a small package of gear to begin with. Other

times, Trainers scrape up the money themselves to buy

the basics before they begin their adventure.

Poké Balls

Poké Balls are specialized pieces of technology that

capture Pokémon by transforming them into an energy

form and storing them in a shrinkable metal ball. They

come in many varieties, designed for different situations.

Some are better suited for capturing particular Types of

Pokémon while others have special effects upon capture.

Throwing Poké Balls is an AC6 Status Attack, with a

range equal to the Trainer’s Throwing Range: 4 plus

their Athletics Rank. Resolve the attack like you would

any other. If it misses, the Poké Ball lands harmlessly in

the terrain beyond the target. If it hits, and the Pokémon

is able to be Captured, you then make a Capture Roll by

rolling 1d100 and subtracting the Trainer’s Level. The

Type of Ball will also modify the Capture Roll. Poké

Balls can recall Pokémon into them from 8 meters away.

Poké Balls cannot ever capture a Pokémon that’s been

reduced to 0 Hit Points or less. The energizing process

is too dangerous for seriously injured Pokémon and

is thus halted by a failsafe built into all Poké Balls and

Poké Ball parts sold on the market for self-assembly.

And of course, Poké Balls fail to activate against owned

Pokémon already registered to a Trainer and Ball!

Pokédex

This hand-held computer with an advanced camera and

image recognition software is given out to new trainers

at the start of their journey. As a Standard Action, a

Trainer can use their Pokédex to identify a Pokémon

within 10 meters using the Pokédex’s scanner. Doing

so reveals the average height and weight of the species,

height and weight of the individual being targeted,

Moves that the Species learns through Level Up, and

some brief facts about the species’ typical behavior.

These machines may also function as mobile phones,

radios, and hand-held internet browsers, much like

typical smartphones. Other apps may be installed to

grant them further uses. They cost $12,000 or more, but

in most circumstances they should be made available

for free to starting characters.

Poké Ball Chart

Basic Balls are sold for $250, Great Balls for $400 and Ultra Balls for $800. All Special balls are usually sold for

$800 as well, though they may not always be available in every shop.

Why are Poké Balls so cheap for pieces of advanced technology, especially compared to other items available in the

Pokémon Tabletop United handbook? Well, it’s largely because the game is so dependent on their easy accessibility.

If you need an in-setting reason, Poké Ball production is likely subsidized by the government due to their ubiquity.

GM Tip: A good way to give towns in your campaign a little flavor is to make different kinds of Special Poké Balls

be available in each. This can be based on what sort of Apricorns grow nearby, or simply due to the location of the

town; a town next to a large cave system may produce Dusk Balls, while a town by the beach may produce Lure or

Dive Balls.

You may even want to invent your own custom Poké Balls for your campaign. Think about what kinds of

customizations would be useful to the locals or visitors. A snowy mountain town may have invented a variation of

the Net Ball that catches Rock and Ice Type Pokémon more easily, for example.

Gear and Items

Bait: Bait is a tasty, strong-smelling morsel of food

designed to attract Pokémon. It may be used in two

ways; to lure Pokémon, or to distract Pokémon. Bait can

be bought for $250.

To lure Pokémon, set the bait on a route. Every 15

minutes thereafter, roll 1d20 until you roll 15 or higher.

If you roll 3 times without success, the bait loses its

potency and fails. If you succeed however, a random

Pokémon, based on your GM’s discretion will appear.

The Pokémon attracted with bait should usually be of a

Level comparable to the party’s Pokémon. Bait is often

used for Fishing in this way.

To distract Pokémon, throw it at a Wild Pokémon as a

Standard Action. The target must then make a Focus

Roll with a DC of 12. If they fail, the Pokémon gives up

its next Standard Action to eat the food.

Collection Jar: A simple sealable glass jar. Useful when

collecting Items from Pokémon, such as Honey from

Pokémon with the Honey Gather Ability, or MooMoo

Milk from Pokémon with the Milk Collection Ability.

Available almost everywhere, and cost $100.

First Aid Kit: Required to use the First Aid Expertise

Feature. By Draining 1 AP, any Trainer can make a

Medicine Education Check on a target as an Extended

Action. The target gains Hit Points equal to the result,

and is cured of Burn, Poison, and Paralysis. Costs $500.

Fishing Lure: Instead of Bait, some trainers may opt

to use a Fishing Lure when attempting to Fish. Fishing

Lures work just like Bait, but can be used multiple times.

If the line snaps or the fish gets away, they may take your

lure with them, however. Fishing Lures cost $1500.

Saddle: Saddles help Trainers ride Pokémon. They are

created with a specific Pokémon species in mind, and

only Pokémon with that body type can wear the saddle.

A common Saddle type fits Ponyta, Rapidash, Blitzle,

and Zebstrika, for example. Saddles grant a +3 bonus to

all Skill Checks made to mount Pokémon, or to remain

on the Saddle when hit by an attack. Costs $2000.

Rope: Rope has many different uses, and is thus popular

gear for explorers, campers, and hikers. Rope can only

be damaged by Fire-Type attacks, or attacks made with

sharp objects – knives, swords, sharp teeth, and Moves

like Scratch, Slash, Leaf Blade, Razor Leaf, etc. The

Move Cut ignores all Damage Reduction against Rope.

Rope can be bought in any length of 25 Feet up to 300.

The listed prices below reflect 25 feet of rope; simply

multiply the price appropriately for more.

»» Basic Rope: Basic Fiber Rope. Has a tensile strength

of 35 kg or 77 lbs. It has 5 Hit Points. Costs $100

»» Utility Rope: Braided Utility Rope. Has a tensile

strength of 80 kg or 176 lbs. It has 20 Hit Points and

10 Damage Reduction. Costs $200

»» Sturdy Rope: Sturdy Rope with a tensile strength

of 225 kg or roughly 500lbs. 30 Hit Points and 20

Damage Reduction. Costs $400

Sleeping Bag: A standard sleeping bag. Costs $1000 for

a single, or $1800 for a double.

Tents: Standard outdoor tents. Provide protection from

the elements of nature. Costs $400 per meter cubed.

(A small one person tent would be about 1m x 1.5m x

1.5m, or 2.25 cubic meters– meaning 900 in price. )

Lighter: For creating flames in a hurry. A regular

convenience store lighter costs $150; a waterproof

lighter costs $1000.

Flashlight: For, you know, seeing. In the dark. Yes.

Costs $200 for a regular Flashlight; + $400 to make it

Waterproof.

Water Filter: Can ensure that river or pond water is

clean to drink after being filtered. Costs $500.

Repels: Repels can be sprayed on one’s self in order to

ward off wilds with a subtle smell that greatly annoys

Pokémon. It’s best to not make your own Pokémon

endure the smell while using Repels yourself. Most wild

Pokémon won’t bother you when you spray Repel on

yourself, and will make themselves scarce before you

even approach.

Spraying a wild Pokémon directly with Repel will cause

that Pokémon, if the Repel can affect Pokémon of that

level, to immediately shift away from the user as far as

the Pokémon is able as an Interrupt, forfeiting their next

Shift Action. Spraying a Pokémon with a Repel is an

AC6 Status Attack.

Strength Effect Price

Repel Lasts 1 hour; causes Pokémon

of level 15 or lower to flee. $200

Super Repel Lasts 2 hours; causes Pokémon

of level 25 or lower to flee. $300

Max Repel Lasts 5 hours; causes Pokémon

of level 35 or lower to flee. $400

Medicines

Potions and other Basic Restorative Items are

a useful way for Trainers to keep their Pokémon

in fighting shape without needing to return

to a Pokémon center every single time they

run into an angry wild Pokémon. Potions are

sold in small, one time use spray bottles that

when sprayed on a Pokémon, sterilize and heal

wounds.

Potions and other Basic Restoratives can be

used on Pokémon and Humans alike to repair

damaged tissue and seal wounds. If the entire

bottle of Potion isn’t used, it cannot take effect

on the Pokémon.

Be careful with “Repulsive” medicines! They

decrease a Pokémon’s loyalty with repeated use.

Most of these items are available for sale at

PokéMarts. They are essential equipment that

adventuring Trainers need to have access to

while they are out on the road, far from any

Pokémon Centers.

X-Items on the other hand are a bit rarer, often

sold only in specialty shops or large shopping

centers. Unlike Basic Restorative items, they

only function on Pokémon – not on Trainers –

and are used for augmenting Combat Stages in

battle rather than healing wounds. Their effect

lasts until the end of an encounter.

Using Items

Applying Restorative Items, or X Items is a

Standard Action, which causes the target to

forfeit their next Standard Action and Shift

Action, unless the user has the “Medic Training”

Edge. The target of these items may refuse to

stay still and be healed; in that case, the item is

not used, and the target does not forfeit their

actions.

If you use a Restorative Item on yourself it is a

Full-Round action, but you do not forfeit any

further actions.

Some Items may operate under different rules,

if stated in their description.

Bandages and Poultices

Bandages are important medical supplies for

traveling Trainers that aren’t quite the same as

other Restorative Items.

Bandages are applied as Extended Actions

on Pokémon or Trainers. Bandages last for 6

hours; while applied, they double the Natural Healing

Rate of Pokémon or Trainers, meaning a Pokémon or

Trainer will heal 1/8th of their Hit Points per half hour.

Bandages also immediately heal one Injury if they

remain in place for their full duration.

If a Pokémon is damaged or loses Hit Points in any way,

the Bandages immediately stop working.

Bandages can be found in even minor convenience

stores for $300. Poultices have the same effect as

Bandages, but are itchy and irritating to the skin – they

may lower the loyalty of Pokémon if used too often,

much like Repulsive medicine.

Note: Multiple Bandages may be used throughout the

day to heal injuries, but only 3 Injuries can be removed

per day through any combination of Items, Features, or

Natural Healing.

Bandages are incredibly helpful for extended treks in

the wilderness where you might accrue multiple injuries

over days without seeing a Pokémon Center.

Bandages See attached Section $300

Poultices See attached Section - Repulsive $225

Food Items

Food Items are just

what they sound like.

By far the largest

category of Food Items

is Berries, but many

other kinds of food

exist too. Candy Bars

and Refreshments are

commonly sold in

PokéMarts. Leftovers

or Black Sludge must

be found in more

specialized shops.

Snacks

Item Effects Cost

Candy Bar Snack. Grants a Digestion Buff that heals 5 Hit Points. $75

Honey Snack. Grants a Digestion Buff that heals 5 Hit Points. May be

used as Bait $100

Leftovers

Snack. When their Digestion Buff is traded in, the user recovers

1/16th of their max Hit Points at the beginning of each turn for

the rest of the encounter.

$350

Black

Sludge

Poison-Type Pokémon may consume the Black Sludge as a

Snack Item; when the Digestion Buff is traded in, they recover

1/8th of their Max Hit Points at the beginning of each turn for

the rest of the encounter.

$500

Snacks may be consumed at any time by a Pokémon or

Trainer as an Extended Action to grant a Digestion Buff.

A Pokémon or Trainer may only have one Digestion Buff

stored at a time unless they have the Gluttony Ability,

and they made trade in this Buff during battle to

use the effect of the Snack. Berries are considered

snacks.

Some Snacks require a certain condition to be

met before a Digestion Buff can be traded in. For

example, Digestion Buffs from Berries cannot be

traded in unless the user is at 50% Hit Points or

lower or unless the user is suffering from a Status

Affliction the Berry’s Digestion Buff can cure. Some

Berries specify alternate conditions instead, such as

being dealt a certain kind of damage or being hit by a

Type of attack.

Candy Bars and Leftovers are the two other most common

forms of snacks. Chefs however, are capable of creating

diverse varieties of Snacks by using ingredients.

Gear and Items

279

Refreshment Items

Pokémon and Trainers alike love to relax and have some food. Refreshments are Items that grant their effects when

they are consumed as an Extended Action outside of combat.

While they can’t heal in a pinch like Potions do,

they are a cheaper alternative for healing while

outside of battle. A Pokémon or Trainer can

only consume one refreshment per half hour,

unless they have the Gluttony Ability.

Miscellaneous Food

Food under this category is basically only food fluff-wise; they are consumable items that require an Extended

Action to consume, have varying effects, and do not affect how many Snacks or Refreshments you can eat or drink.

Baby Food: A nutritious food that causes young Pokémon to grow quickly. When consumed, increases Experience

Gain of Pokémon at level 15 or lower by 20% for the rest of the day.

Apricorns, Berries, and Herbs

Berries and Herbs are a particular kind of snack food item which grow naturally throughout the world. Some

berries, like Oran Berries, are very common, while others are very rare. Herbs in general tend to be rare in the wild.

Common Berries are easily found in Pokémon supply stores, grocery stores, and similar. Rare berries and herbs

may only be found at specialty shops.

Apricorns, Berries, and Herbs may be grown by a Trainer with the appropriate Features or Edges, assuming they

have access to enough space to plant their Plants.

Once planted, it takes two days for a Plant to Mature. After becoming Mature, a plant’s caretaker should roll the

plant’s Yield Roll every day. They gain a number of Berries (or Herbs, Apricorns, etc.) equal to the result of the

Yield Roll; if the result is zero or a negative number, no Berries are received that day.

Yield Rolls may be modified by Soil Quality however. The Yield Rolls above assume a +0 Soil Quality. Portable

Growers, or exceptionally fertile natural spots have a Soil Quality of +1 instead, which means all Plants growing

there increase Yield Rolls by +1. And many places have considerably WORSE soil quality (good luck growing

berries in sand; hint it’s not going to work).

Mulch may be used to temporarily increase soil Quality; it may be applied to a Plant to increase the Soil Quality

of a plant by +1 for the following day. This cannot make a Soil Quality go above +2. Mulch costs $200 per unit.

Revival Herbs are used as restorative items in battle.

Crafting Kits

These items are either required to use certain crafting

Edges and Features or greatly aid in their use by finding

raw material items.

Chemistry Set: Used to create Repels, Potions, and

other objects. Costs $1000.

Cooking Set: Used by Chefs to create Snacks and

Refreshments. Costs $1000.

Dowsing Rod: Dowsing Rods have been attuned to

the energy resonance given off by Shards. They may be

used while in any route, cave, or outside area and can be

bought for $2000. They may be activated by spending

10 minutes searching an area, and may be activated a

number of times per day equal to half of the trainer’s

Occult Education Rank.

After the 10 minutes, roll 1d6 per Occult Education

Rank. If the area being searched is a beach, cave, desert,

or any other sandy or rocky area, roll +1d6. If you have

Skill Stunt (Dowsing), you roll an additional 1d6.

For each die that results in 4 or higher, you find 1 Shard

of a random color: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, or

Violet. You may reroll any die that result in 6, gaining

that shard and potentially more.

Poffin Mixer: A Poffin Mixer can be used by any Trainer

to create Poffins. You simply insert cooking ingredients

worth $500, and at least one of the listed berries. You

create two Poffins that raises the Contest Stat most

represented by the berries used by +1 Contest Die. Some

Berries can raise multiple Contest Stats; you choose

which to raise when using these Berries to make Poffins.

Cheri, Figy, Razz, Spelon and Belue Berries raise Cool;

Chesto, Wiki, Bluk, Spelon and Pamtre Berries raise

Beauty; Pecha, Mago, Nanab, Pamtre, and Watmel

Berries raise Cute; Rawst, Aguav, Wepear, Watmel,

and Durin Berries raise Smart; Aspear, Iapapa, Pinap,

Durin, and Belue Berries raise Tough. Poffins can be

purchased for $500 in bakeries and Contest halls, and

Poffin Mixers cost $500 as well.

Poké Ball Tool Box: These tool boxes let those with the

know-how craft and repair Poké Balls. They cost $500

and can be found in most Poké Marts.

Portable Grower / Berry Planter: Portable Growers can

be used to grow berries and herbs. Portable Growers

protect the plants within them from external weather,

and never need to be fertilized. Each Grower holds one

plant. Portable Growers cost $2000.

Shards: Shards are bits of colored energized crystal

and are used for various crafting purposes. Each color

is associated with three Types. Red is Fire, Fairy, and

Psychic; Orange is Normal, Fighting, and Dragon;

Yellow is Electric, Rock and Steel; Green is Bug, Grass,

and Ground; Blue is Water, Ice, and Flying; Violet is

Scrap and Crafting Items

Scrap is a mechanic that allows Trainers with Crafting

Edges and Features to make better use of them without

causing other items to be too easily acccessible due to

the amount of money they have on hand. Put simply

Scrap is money that can only be used to pay for a certain

category of Crafting Edge or Feature.

For example, a Chef taking home leftover ingredients

from a restaurant at the end of a day might have Scrap

to pay for $500 of Chef Features. A gadgeteer rooting

through a junkyard might be able to salvage parts equal

to $1000 worth of Poké Ball crafting. This lets a GM to

regularly reward players who rely on Crafting with the

resources they need to function without tempting players

with extra crash to buy TMs or other luxury items.

Trainers can also disassemble any item they are capable

of crafting to gain Scrap equal to half the cost they

would pay to create the item. For example, a Fashionista

can cut up Fancy Clothes for cloth Scraps worth $1250

for using their other Features.

Scrap is always tied to a particular item category. Here

are some suggestions for those categories.

»» Food: Snack Items, Refreshment Items, Bait Items,

Baby Food

»» Medicines: All Basic Restoratives, X-Items, Dire

Hit, Guard Spec, Vitamins

»» Repellents: All Repel Items, all Pester Balls

»» Poké Balls: All Poké Balls

»» Fashion Items: Items the Fashionista creates

Equipment

Trainers can don equipment to help protect them on their journeys or grant them special effects. They may only

equip one piece of Equipment per Equipment slot though; the slots are Head, Main Hand, Off-Hand, Body, Feet,

and Accessory.

“Held Items” and “Equipment” share many similarities. “Equipment” is usable only by Trainers. Most Held Items

are usable by Trainers as well; most Held Items are accessory-slot items when used by Trainers, but some may differ

according to their description. See the next section for details on Held Items.

Equipping an Item or switching one for another takes a Standard Action. Handing another Trainer an item or

equipment piece is similarly a Standard Action, but this does not equip the item for them, only grants them

the ability to equip it themselves. Equipping a Held Item onto a Pokémon is a Standard Action that causes the

Pokémon to forfeit their next turn.

Weapons

Weapons are perhaps the most common type of

Equipment. Weapons are Main Hand Equipment pieces

that modify Struggle Attacks. Weapons may also allow

Trainers to use Moves as long as they have a high enough

Combat Skill Rank. Weapons come in three quality

categories, Crude, Simple, and Fine. Crude Weapons

do not grant Moves but instead only modify Struggle

Attacks. Simple Weapons grant a single Move that can

be used if the wielder has Adept Combat or higher, and

Fine Weapons grant two Moves, one at Adept Combat

or higher and another at Master Combat or higher.

Roughly speaking, Crude Weapons are usually more

everyday items that have been adapted to use as

weapons, Simple Weapons are “proper” weapons but

unexceptional, and Fine Weapons are weapons of a

quality you may expect on law enforcement or anyone

else wielding a weapon in a professional capacity.

There are four kinds of Weapons; Large Melee Weapons,

Small Melee Weapons, Short-Range Weapons, and

Long-Range Weapons. If a Weapon is One-Handed, it

simply takes up the Main Hand slot – if it’s two handed,

it takes up the Off-Hand Slot as well. When wielding a

One-Handed Weapon in the Off-Hand slot, Trainers do

not gain a Master Move from that Weapon and take a -2

penalty to Accuracy Rolls for all Weapon Attacks made

with that Weapon.

Large Melee Weapons raise the AC of the Attack by +1,

and raise the Damage Base by +2. Large Melee Weapons

are two-handed.

Small Melee Weapons raise the Damage Base by +1.

These weapons are obviously one-handed!

Foot Weapons: Hey, if someone wants to make Steel-

Toed Boots or similar as Weapons and equip them in

the Foot Slot … let them go for it. These are Small Melee

Weapons, but also raise the AC of the attack by +1.

Short Range Weapons have a Range of 4 meters. Short-

Range weapons are one-handed.

Long Range Weapons raise the AC of the Attack by

+1, have a range of 12 meters, and raise the Damage

Base by +1. Long Range Weapons can’t target Pokémon

or Trainers that are closer than 4 meters from the user.

Long Range Weapons are two-handed.

Improvised Weapons: If your Trainers make attacks

with unconventional objects, let them benefit from

having a weapon, but impose a penalty based on the

item. Perhaps the item can only attack once and then

breaks. Perhaps an item is badly balanced, like a thrown

stone, and takes a -1 penalty to AC. Or perhaps it’s just

not very good at dishing out pain; lower the Damage

Base by -1 or more. Hitting with a Pillow might be a

DB1 attack no matter how strong you are, for example.

Weapons may also have additional characteristics based

on what they are, such as a spear granting the Reach

Capability for attacks made with the weapon or sword

breakers giving a bonus to Disarm Maneuvers.

All modifications that a Weapon makes to Struggle

Attacks also apply to the Moves they grant and to Moves

granted by Features with the [Weapon] tag. However,

these Moves can never benefit from STAB. For example,

a Large Melee Weapon with an AC 2 DB 4 Move would

cause the wielder to use it as if it had AC 3 and DB 6.

A Long or Short Range weapon granting a Move would

use the Move as if it had a range equal to the Weapon’s.

GM Tips: The cost of weapons should be very dependent

on the region. However, Crude Weapons are universally

cheap and can be bought for $500 or less, assuming one

doesn’t simply go into the kitchen and grab a knife there

or take a crowbar from the tool box.

Simple Weapons and Fine Weapons are unmistakably

designed to be used as weapons and nothing more,

so their prices are more subject to the legality and

treatment of weapons in your setting. If weapons are

commonplace and legal, Simple Weapons may be

as cheap as $2000 and Fine Weapons $4000. If all

weapons are very illegal, Simple Weapons may cost

$5000 and Fine Weapons $10,000 or more. On average,

they should cost about $3000 for Simple Weapons and

$6000 for Fine Weapons.

Another thing to think about is what sort of weapons

are allowed. Maybe the police is going to show up very

quickly at the sight of teenagers traveling with swords,

bows, and spears – definitely Simple or Fine Weapons.

But what about baseball bats, slingshots, and hockey

sticks as Crude Weapons? Establishing the framework of

what constitutes a common ‘weapon’ in your campaign

is important, and can help set the tone of the campaign.

Weapon Moves

How do you determine what Moves a Simple or Fine

Weapon grants? Weapons actually have a whole list of

Moves all to themselves, which are designed for you to

mix and match to best fit a given weapon’s fluff. Simply

look through the list and pick Moves that make sense.

For example, Pierce! would go well on a spear, but Bash!

would not.

Weapon Moves are read in the same format as regular

Moves, though there is a bit of extra notation for them.

»» “WR” is short for “Weapon Range” refers to the

Weapon’s innate range. That is, Melee for Large and

Small Melee Weapons, 4 meters for Short Range

Weapons, and 12 meters for Long Range Weapons

with a restriction that they can’t target anyone closer

than 4 meters.

»» Limitations refer to the kinds of weapons that can

be granted the Move. For example, Backswing can

only be found on Large Melee Weapons.

»» Weapon Suggestions are simply our suggestions for

what kinds of weapons the Move makes sense for, in

case it was confusing or you need a bit of guidance.

Some Features also allow you to use Moves you learn as

a Trainer “as a Weapon Attack”. What this means is you

apply the Damage, AC, etc. modifiers from your Weapon

to the Move, and your Move gains the Weapon’s Range

instead if it is 1-Target. Line and Ranged Blast Moves

retain their area-of-effect keyword but use the Weapon’s

Range. Burst, Cone, and Close Blast Moves remain their

normal range.

Fishing Rods are used to Fish. They are two-handed items. They come in three varieties; Old

Rods, Good Rods, and Super Rods. Old Rods cost $1000, Good Rods cost $5,000, and Super

Rods cost $15,000.

Glue

Cannon

Glue Cannons are exactly what you expect; This two-handed Equipment piece is a hand-held

cannon that launches globs of glue. Attacking with a Glue Cannon expends a charge, which must

be purchased. The attack is an AC8 Status Attack. If it hits, the target is Slowed. On a critical hit,

the target is instead Stuck and Trapped. The Glue Cannon and three charge packets cost $3000,

and additional charge packets costs $100.

Hand Net

A long net, usually on the end of a long stick, these pieces of two-handed Equipment are usually

used for bug catching or fishing. As an AC6 Status Attack, you may attempt to net a Small

Pokémon using this item. If you hit, you manage to scoop up the Pokémon, trapping them. You

may move with the Pokémon, dragging them with you. Pokémon may still attack from the Hand

Net using long-range attacks, or try to attack the net itself, potentially breaking it and freeing

themselves. Capture Rolls against Pokémon in a net receive a -20 bonus.

Hand Nets with 50 Hit Points cost $100; 100 Hit Points cost $600; and 200 Hit Points cost

$1500. Nets aren’t broken until all of their Hit Points are depleted.

Weighted

Nets

Weighted Nets are foldable nets used for trapping Pokémon. These two-handed nets, when

Equipped, can be thrown at a target as a Standard Action, as a Status Attack with an AC of 8.

While a Pokémon is netted, you may pull on the rope attached to the Net to pull the Pokémon 1

Meter towards you as a Standard Action.

Pokémon hit by a weighted net become Slowed as long as the net remains and cannot use Sky or

Levitate Speeds except to safely lower themselves back to the ground. A Pokémon may attack the

Net to attempt to break free. Capture Rolls against Pokémon in a net receive a -20 bonus.

Weighted Nets with 50 Hit Points cost $500; 80 Hit Points cost $850; and 150 Hit Points cost

$1200.

Capture

Styler

A Capture Styler is a Main-Hand specialized piece of equipment used by some certified Pokémon

Rangers in a region. It emits a string of energy that is used in a similar fashion to a lasso but is too

weak to physically restrain a target. Instead, the energy has a calming effect on Pokémon.

Trainers using a Capture Styler may use Survival in place of Charm when raising the Disposition

of Pokémon. Acquiring a Capture Styler is easy for those who become certified Pokémon Rangers;

most qualified Rangers receive one as part of the job. They are not for sale to the general public

and may cost upwards of $7500 on the black market due to their iconic nature – it’s easy to

assume that someone who has a Capture Styler is a Ranger.

Light Shield

A Shield is an Off-Hand defensive item held in one hand or braced to an arm. Light Shields

grant +2 Evasion. They may be readied as a Standard Action to instead grant +4 Evasion and 10

Damage Reduction until the end of your next turn, but also cause you to become Slowed for that

duration. If used Two-Handed, light shields can also function as a Small Melee Weapon. Light

Shields cost around $3000.

Heavy Shield

A Shield is an Off-Hand defensive item held in one hand or braced to an arm. Heavy Shields

grnat +2 Evasion and may be readied as a Standard Action to grant +6 Evasion and 15 Damage

Reduction until the end of your next turn, but also cause you to become Slowed for that duration.

If used Two-Handed, shields can also function as a Small Melee Weapon. Heavy Shields cost

around $4500.

Wonder

Launcher

This strange and complicated two-handed machine can only be used by those that have an

Expert-Level Medicine or Technology Education Skill. The wielder can spend 1 AP to activate

it, and apply an X-Item at a Pokémon within 8 meters. X-Items applied through the Wonder

Launcher do not cause the target to forfeit any actions. Items combined by a Researcher may be

used in the Wonder Launcher, and do not cause the target to forfeit any actions even if they are

also a Restorative. Wonder Launchers cost $10,000 or more.

Accessory Items

Equipment Effect

Focus

A Focus grants +5 Bonus to a Stat, chosen when crafted. This Bonus is applied AFTER Combat

Stages. Focuses are often Accessory-Slot Items, but may be crafted as Head-Slot, Hand or Off-

Hand Slot Items as well; a Trainer may only benefit from one Focus at a time, regardless of

the Equipment Slot. Focuses are not usually found in stores, but may sometimes be found for

$6000 at your GM’s discretion.

Snag Machine

Snag Machines are extremely illegal machines that allow trainers to steal another Trainer’s

Pokémon. They come in both large, immovable varieties and smaller portable varieties. The

Portable Variety is an Accessory-Slot Item. Inserting a Poké Ball into a Large Snag Machine

turns it into a Snag Ball permanently, but Large Snag Machines may only turn 5 Poké Balls

into Snag Balls per day. Inserting a Poké Ball into a Portable Snag Machine, which is a Swift

Action, turns it into a Snag Ball after one round, but only for that round. Snag Balls have

the same properties as the Poké Ball type they were before being inserted into the machine,

but receive a -2 penalty on all Poké Ball attack rolls, and are capable of capturing owned

Pokémon. Snag Machines cannot be bought in stores, but may sell on the black market for

prices of $30,000 or more.

Mega Ring

Mega Rings are extraordinarily rare accessories that allow a Trainer’s Pokémon to Mega Evolve

when used in conjunction with a Mega Stone. They cannot be bought in stores anywhere and

must usually be earned through a trial of sorts, governed by a Gym Leader or other influential

Pokémon Trainer. They can take the form of a bracelet, a necklace, or an actual ring.

GM TIP: Creating Your Own Items

You’re going to want to create your own equipment; don’t be afraid to do so! One way to provide trainers with

useful and flavorful equipment is to provide gear that gives small bonuses to Skills; ranging from +1 to +4 at the

maximum. Some Gear may provide these bonuses only in specific circumstances; that kind of gear can afford to

give higher bonuses, or simply be cheaper.

Feel free to tailor these items to your PCs or NPCs, and to your setting. A “Pokémon League Cap” could be a great

item to include to grant +2 to Command Checks in a Standard Pokémon setting; a Pokémon War Setting might be

better off with a “Officer’s Stripes” or similar.

When creating Items, assign them to an equipment slot that makes sense; that +2 Intimidate Eyepatch obviously

goes on the Head Slot, but that +2 Intimidate Studded Leather Jacket could be a Body or Accessory Slot Item.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with more exotic effects! For example, some equipment items may allow a Trainer

to use a Move, such as a fancy hat that lets a Trainer use the Move Swagger once a Scene. These items should allow

Trainers to use Moves at a lower rate than their natural frequency. Be careful that you don’t give out effects that are

too powerful or that step on the toes of some PC classes! Finally, you can afford to be a little flexible with which

items go in which equipment slots. While it’d make no sense to wear a Gas Mask and Sunglasses simultaneously, if

someone wears a Helmet in their Head Slot, you may let them wear Sunglasses as an Accessory Slot Item.

Pokémon Items

Held Items

During battle, a Pokémon may be given a single “Held Item”. Berries, Herbs, and Snack Foods are common

consumable held items that are destroyed when used, but there are many other items crafted especially for battle.

On the following page is a chart listing various Held Items that grant a specific boon while held as a Static ability.

They do not need to be activated; simply holding them is enough. Held Items may be dropped by Pokémon

on their turn as a Free Action. Many held items can be used by Trainers as well. When this is the case, they’re

described with the associated equipment slot used by a Trainer. Not all Held Items can be purchased. Some are rare

and must be found; these Held Items are marked with a -- in place of a price.

Fluffing Held Items: Fluffing Held Items may in some cases be a little awkward. The most convenient explanation

is to simply view them as amulets to be worn on a cord around the Pokémon’s neck or on a collar. Or perhaps a

nice hat; everyone loves hats. Some Items like Stat Boosters may be fluffed as armor that covers the Pokémon, or

even weapons that can be attached to the Pokémon’s natural weapons.

Pokémon Toolkits

The following Items help with various tasks related to

the raising of Pokémon.

Egg Warmer: Egg Warmers are insulated cases that

carry up to four Pokémon Eggs and protect them from

harm. They also cause Pokémon to hatch twice as fast;

each day spent in an Egg Warmer counts as 2 days for

the purposes of Hatch Rate. Egg Warmers cost $2500.

Groomer’s Kit: Used by Trainers with the Groomer

Edge to clean their Pokémon. Costs $500.

Reanimation Machine: Can be used to revive Fossils.

Reanimation Machines also come in a smaller but

more expensive Portable variety. Prices are up to GM

discretion, often upwards of $10,000. See the Pokémon

Fossils section for more details (page 216).

Evolutionary Items

Some Pokémon evolve upon contact with radioactive Elemental Stones, while rarer evolutions take place only

once a Pokémon becomes bonded to a keepsake of sorts. Here are the relevant Elemental Stones and a list of

Evolutionary Keepsake. All of these items can be bought for $3000 in major stores.

Vitamins

Vitamins are special nutritional drinks which can permanently improve aspects of your Pokémon. However, you

may only get use out of up to five Vitamins per Pokémon. After you have used five Vitamins on a Pokémon, any

Vitamins fed to a Pokémon afterwards will have no effect.

Vitamin Effect Cost

HP Up Raise the user’s HP Base Stat 1. $4900

Protein Raise the user’s Attack Base Stat 1. $4900

Iron Raise the user’s Defense Base Stat 1. $4900

Calcium Raise the user’s Special Attack Base Stat 1. $4900

Zinc Raise the user’s Special Defense Base Stat 1. $4900

Carbos Raise the user’s Speed Base Stat 1. $4900

Heart Booster The Pokémon gains 2 Tutor Points. Use only one per Pokémon. $9800

PP Up Raise one of the user’s Move’s Frequency one level. Use only one per Pokémon. $9800

Note: PP Ups work differently than they have in previous versions.

At-Will Moves cannot have their Frequency increased further. EOT Moves become At-Will. Daily and Scene

Moves gain an additional use in their Frequency’s unit of time. For example, a Daily Move becomes Daily x2, and

a Scene x2 Move becomes Scene x3.

The following aren’t Vitamins, strictly speaking, but they are related to Vitamins in some way.

Heart Scale: This tiny rainbow scale from a Luvdisc is valued by Apothecary Researchers, because it can be used to

create the Heart Booster vitamin. Luvdiscs will produce them occasionally; they can be found along sandy beaches,

and ancient ones can be found in desert, caves, or underground. Heart Scales cannot normally be bought, but

Heart Boosters are detailed in the vitamins section.

Rare Candy: These very rare treats are created from Shuckles that have held a Berry for a long time. When ingested

by a Pokémon, the eater gains enough experience to reach its next Level. Pokémon may benefit from up to five Rare

Candies in their lifetime. Rare Candies can cost $9800 or more.

Stat Suppressants: These medicines have an identical effect to the Suppressant Berries – they lower one of the

user’s Base Stats by 1 point and only function if the Trainer of the Pokémon wants them to. These cost $500.

TMs and HMs

TMs and HMs, or Technical Machines and Hidden Machines, are objects used to teach Pokémon Moves.

TMs are dispensable, one-time use items. HMs on the other hand can be used once per day. TMs and HMs take

about an hour to take effect; after this time is up, the Pokémon learns the move associated with the TM or HM.

Not every Pokémon can learn every TM though; check the Pokémon’s TM List to see if they are capable of learning

that TM. Furthermore, be aware that '''only 3 of a Pokémon’s Moves can come from TMs or Tutor Moves. '''See the

“Moves” section under Pokémon for more details (page 200). TM Moves cost a Pokémon 1 Tutor Point to learn,

though if this Move is forgotten and replaced by another TM Move (keeping the total number of TM Moves the

same or lower than previously), the new Move does not cost an extra Tutor Point.

GM TIP: As to what TMs and HMs actually ARE, well, that’s something every GM needs to decide and establish

at the beginning of their campaign.

The easiest solution is to make them small compact discs, activated by the TM Case itself. The Pokémon’s Poké

Ball is then inserted into the TM Case, which then digitally transfers the Move information to the Pokémon. If

this method is used, know that using TMs on Pokémon without Poké Balls will be impossible. Furthermore, the

Pokémon being taught the Move is unavailable for the hour it takes to fully learn the Move.

Another solution is to make them Syringes that need to be injected into a Pokémon. If this is the case, consider

requiring trainers to make a Medicine Education Check with a DC of 8 or so to apply Syringes; you don’t want to

inject the TM liquid in the wrong place, after all! You should decide what failure means; is the TM simply wasted?

Or is the Pokémon injured instead? Both? Before choosing this option, consider the barrier to entry it poses to

trainers both mechanically and psychologically; most trainers don’t want to drive needles into their own Pokémon,

after all.

You can use one, both, or neither of the methods above. Feel free to come up with your own solutions about the

nature of TMs. If your campaign takes place in an alternate setting, consider adjusting TMs accordingly. In one

“Wild West” Themed setting, TMs were represented as hallucinogenic substances designed to take Pokémon on a

“spirit quest” to teach them the new Move.

Combat Items

The following are items that are largely consumables

to be used in combat. That isn’t to say that all of them

are strictly combat items, but their primary use will be

during fights.

Caltrops & Toxic Caltrops: These items let the user

use the Move Spikes and Toxic Spikes, respectively, as a

Standard Action. The item is then consumed. Caltrops

are not usually sold in stores, but may be found from

specialty shops for $500.

Dream Mist: Dream Mist may be used as an AC 6

Melee Status Attack, performed as a Standard Action.

If it hits, the target falls Asleep. Dream Mist is collected

from Pokémon with the eponymous Capability using a

Collection Jar but is also in rare occult shops for $500.

Magic Flute: Magic Flutes are rare artifacts made only

by skilled crafters with occult knowledge. They are not

usually found in stores. When a Flute is crafted, it is

tied to a particular Status Condition. Once per day, the

Flute may be played as a Standard Action. All Pokémon

and Trainers within 20 meters of the Flute are cured of

that Status. These rare artifacts cannot be found in most

ordinary stores but may cost upwards of $4000 from an

appropriate occult vendor.

Cleanse Tags: Cleanse Tags are small strips of paper

with a prayer or incantation written on them. When

created, the creator makes an Occult Education Roll;

this is the Cleanse Tag’s Power Value.

When glued, taped, or nailed to a surface, they stop

Pokémon or Trainers within 30 meters of the tag from

Phasing through that surface, as if it was solid, unless

they make a Focus Skill Check with a result greater than

the Tag’s Power Value. On a success, the tag is destroyed;

on failure, the tag holds, and the encroacher cannot try

again for at least an hour.

They may also be stuck onto a weapon or appendage to

let a Normal or Fighting-Type Attack hit a Ghost-Type

Pokémon for Regularly-Effective Damage; once damage

has been dealt, the Cleanse Tag is destroyed.

Those with an Occult Education of Novice or higher can

also burn a Cleanse Tag as a Standard Action to remove

the Cursed, Suppressed, or Disabled condition from a

single target within 5 meters.
