''This page is about unused items, in the Pokémon games. For unintended items, see [[glitch items]].''
Some items have been used in previous generations, such as the Scanner in Pokémon FireRed, Pokémon LeafGreen originating from Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, while other items are completely unused, such as the two ????? items from Generation I, and the Lock Capsule in Generation IV and Generation V.
==Unused items in [[bp:Generation I|Generation I]]==▼
Generation I has a few valid unused items.
#'''?????''' (hex:07): This item will act like the Pokémon had used the field move Surf. For this reason, it is sometimes referred to as the 'Surfboard', even though what this item was meant to be, if anything is unknown.
▲==Unused items in [[bp:Generation I|Generation I]]==
#'''?????''' (hex:2C): A completely unusable item.
#Coin (hex:3B): These items will stack but cannot be used (attempting to use it will bring up Professor Oak's unusable message) or stored into a Coin Case. Coins can be sold at a PokéMart for 5 Pokédollars per coin. If hacked into a PokéMart listing they are sold for 10 Pokédollars each.<!--I, Torchickens, wrote this-->
#False PP Up (hex:32): For unknown reasons, there are two PP Up items stored in the game, 32 and 4F. 32 is a fake PP Up which cannot be used (attempting to use it will bring up Professor Oak's unusable message). It can, however, be sold at a PokéMart for 4900 Pokédollars or purchased for 9800 Pokédollars if hacked into a PokéMart listing. The real PP Up has no value and can only be purchased/sold for 0 Pokédollars.
Note that badges exist as items with the BoulderBadge and the CascadeBadge acting like Bait and Rocks from the Safari Zone, respectively and the other badges seemingly having no use.
Techncical Machines (TMs) 51-55 also appear in the game and act like HMs 01 through to 05, respectively, but it is not confirmed whether they are valid.
==Unused items in [[bp:Generation II|Generation II]]==▼
[[bp:Generation II|Generation II]] featured many more items, meaning that there are less free item slots in Pokémon Gold, Pokémon Silver and Pokémon Crystal.
1. '''[[Teru-Sama]]''' (x29): Teru-Sama, are placeholder items with simply the description "?" (it is unconfirmed if this description is valid). Teru-Sama are known in the Japanese versions as Kabichuu (Japanese: カビチュウ). These items have index numbers in between valid items. They are placeholders with simply the description "?" (it is unconfirmed if this description is valid).
Four of the Teru-Samas became items in Pokémon Crystal. These items are the Clear Bell (hex:46), the GS Ball (hex:73), the Blue Card (hex:74) and the Egg Ticket (hex:81). None of the Teru-Samas are usable by default.
▲4.'''Safari Balls in the item pack''': Item data for the Safari Ball exists within the game series occupying a hexadecimal identifier of 08 (8), regardless of the fact that Safari Balls can only be used within the Safari Zone and the fact that these items cannot usually be used directly from the player's bag but rather from the 'THROW BALL' option of the Safari Zone battle system itself.
At least some of the Teru-Samas may have been real items at one point in the game's development. There are three Teru-Samas with unique effects when they are hacked to have a use option. These are the Teru-Samas with index numbers of hex:06, hex:38 and hex:BE, but the effect of Teru-Sama hex:BE is not valid and using it causes nothing to happen.
▲==Unused items in [[bp:Generation II|Generation II]]==
Hex:06 functions like a faulty version of the Town Map from Generation I, while hex:38 functions almost like the Poké Flute, but it will not awaken the Snorlax near Vermilion City and the Poké Flute sound doesn't play if the player doesn't have a sleeping Pokémon in the party or uses the item with a sleeping Pokémon in the party within a battle.
Teru-Samas can be sold for 19660 Pokédollars at a PokéMart.

2. '''False TM04 (hex:C3)''': There is a false TM04 with the index number hex:C3, directly following the real TM04 by 1. It is stored in the items pocket instead of the key items pocket and has no use option. It has the description "Attacks 5 turns with rising power."; which is the same as the real TM04, Rollout. It can be sold for 19660 Pokédollars.
3. '''False TM28 (hex:DC)''': Like the false TM04, the false TM28's index number directly follows the real TM28 by 1, is stored in the items pocket, and has the description of the actual TM28, "1st turn: Burrow 2nd turn: Attack". It can be sold for 19660 Pokédollars.
▲#'''Park Balls as item data''': Similarly to the Safari Ball in other generations; although the Park Ball can normally only be used temporarily through the use of an additional interface in the Bug Pokémon catching competition, item data for the Park Ball and a description can be viewed from the player's bag through the use of a [[game-altering device]]. The Park Ball occupies a hexadecimal identifier of B1 (177).
==Unused items in [[bp:Generation III|Generation III]]==
[[bp:Generation III|Generation III]] included many more unused items. It is notable that many of these appear to be ported and slightly edited versions of items from older games, such as the Scanner in Pokémon Firered and Leafgreen, which is based off the actual item which can be found in the Abandoned Ship in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. These
===Various games===
#'''????????''': The [[error handler]] ???????? ('octomark') is used in the third generation of Pokémon games for invalid items. All(?) of these items have the description '?????' and usually have no 'use' option.
#'''Safari Ball''': The Safari Ball, although normally never obtainable within the Bag
#'''Enigma Berry''': In the [[bp:third generation|third generation]] of Pokémon games, the [[bp:Enigma Berry|Enigma Berry]] exists as a [[placeholder]] for the item

====List of unused items which were only obtainable in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire====
Many items from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire exist within
These presumably exist within the game coding because theoretically Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen were developed from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire's original game engine. All of the following are Key Items, because Pokémon can be traded from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire with other items such as the Fluffy Tail.

==Unused items in [[bp:Generation IV|Generation IV]]==
The fourth generation of Pokémon games contain a significant amount of unobtainable items, especially after the release of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver as previous items such as Oak's Letter were usable within Pokémon Diamond, Pokémon Pearl and Pokémon Platinum but are unusable within Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver partly due to the fact that Sinnoh is cannot be visited in the game
Like Generation III, these items probably exist because of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver being developed based from the older games.
There are also a significant amount of items which are never obtainable as actual items within the player's bag, but are mentioned by other NPCs such as the Red Chain in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
===Various games===
#'''Cherish Ball''': Although
#'''Park Ball''': Similarly to the Safari Ball, although the Park Ball is normally only usable in the Pal Park battle mode, item data does exist for if the player was to use a [[cheating device]] to acquire the item in his or her bag. Like a Master Ball, its capture rate is 255x, hence the chance a player would capture a Pokémon using this ball is always 100%. Its description is "A special Poké Ball for the Pal Park."
▲#'''Cherish Ball''': Although as of Generation IV it has been common for Nintendo to distribute many event or gift Pokémon in a Cherish Ball through a [[bp:Pokémon Event|Pokémon Event]] or [[bp:Mystery Gift|Mystery Gift]] the item itself has never been distributed on its own, or as an item held by a Pokémon. As a result, the item is as of now unobtainable within the player's bag without the use of a [[game-altering device]]. The ball has the description "A quite rare Poké Ball that has been specially crafted to commemorate an occasion of some sort." and if used, it has the capture rate of an ordinary Poké Ball.
#'''
#'''Loot Sack''': Item data for the Loot Sack exists within Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Pokémon Platinum and later Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver regardless of the fact that the Underground used a separate interface instead to allow the player to manage the items he or she obtains. The Underground was also removed in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, supporting the interpretation that these games were designed from the previous game engine.
#'''Rule Book''': Item data for a Rule Book, which would contain rules on guidelines on how to trade Pokémon via the Global Trading System exists within the coding of the main handheld [[bp:Generation IV|Generation IV]] games regardless of the fact that no mentioned guidelines were implemented into the final game
#'''Seal Bag''': Item data for a Seal Bag exists within the main handheld Generation IV games regardless of the fact that another interface was used, allowing players to store Seals in the PC instead. According to the game, the Seal Bag would hold up to 10 seals, however it is no longer useable.
#'''Magma Stone''':The [[bp:Magma Stone|Magma Stone]] is a mentioned item by [[bp:Buck|Buck]] in [[bp:Pokémon Platinum|Pokémon Platinum]], (although data for the Magma Stone also exists within Pokémon Diamond and Pearl) which would awaken [[bp:Heatran (Pokémon)|Heatran]] if left at [[bp:Stark Mountain|Stark Mountain]]. It is usually unobtainable within the player's bag however, as it remains hidden within Stark Mountain and in Pokémon Platinum, it is only temporarily in the possession of Buck until it is later returned. Regardless of this, item data for the Magma Stone exists in the Sinnoh based Generation IV games and later within Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
#'''Red Chain''': The [[bp:Red Chain|Red Chain]] is a mentioned item by [[bp:Team Galactic|Team Galactic]] within Pokémon Diamond, Pokémon Pearl and Pokémon Platinum which was used to extract the gems from the bodies of [[bp:Uxie (Pokémon)|Uxie]], [[bp:Mespirit (Pokémon)|Mespirit]] and [[bp:Azelf (Pokémon)|Azelf]] and combine them as a chain in order to control either [[bp:Dialga|Dialga]] or [[bp:Palkia|Palkia]], as by capturing them in a Pokéball this would restrict their power. The item itself however, cannot be obtained in the player's bag within normal gameplay. Despite the fact that its item data was never used in these games, the Red Chain exists as item data again within Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver
#'''Point Card''': The Point Card was only given out in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and
#'''Azure Flute''': The [[bp:Azure Flute|Azure Flute]] is an item in Pokémon Diamond, Pokémon Pearl, and Pokémon Platinum that triggered an in-game event to catch Arceus. The Azure Flute also exists as item data within Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, where it is completely unused. Unlike the other event items, it was never distributed in these games, and it was revealed in a 2013 interview that it was thought to be too confusing for players. Despite this, it was referenced by official media in 2016, and was eventually made obtainable in Pokémon Legends: Arceus and the 1.3.0 update of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
#'''Lock Capsule''': Item data exists within Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver for a Lock Capsule
#'''Photo Album''': Item data exists within Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver for the Photo Album, regardless of the fact that photographs are normally stored in the player's PC instead. As an item in the bag, the Photo Album serves no use.
#'''SlowpokeTail''': Interestingly, the [[bp:SlowpokeTail|SlowpokeTail]] is no longer obtainable in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver as it previously was in Pokémon Gold and Silver. Regardless of this, item data for the SlowpokeTail
