Farm Unlimited Items from Wild Pokemon Exploit

How to Farm Items from Wild Pokemon



Look for Pokemon with Held Items

In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, some wild Pokemon have a chance to hold a specific item. This could be especially helpful, since some Pokemon like Bisharp has a chance of holding a Leader's Crest.

Use Item-Stealing Moves on Wild Pokemon

Use Item Stealing moves

Moves that steal your opponent's held item like Thief, Covet, Trick, and Switcheroo can be used against wild Pokemon, and will take whatever item they are currently holding.

Use a Noivern with Frisk

Use Noivern with Frisk

Noivern's ability Frisk allows you to check first if the wild Pokemon is holding an item, and since Noivern has access to the move Thief, you can use it to steal the item after confirming that the wild Pokemon has the item you want.

Run Away After Using the Item-Stealing Move

After using the Item-Stealing move like Thief or Trick, you can run away from the battle and the item will be added to your inventory. You can then battle the same wild Pokemon again, and it will have the same item, so you can keep repeating this process!

Challenge the Same Pokemon Again

After running away, you can challenge the same Pokemon again to repeat the process. As long as you confirmed that the Pokemon is holding the item you want, it will always have that item again, regardless of how many times you steal the item from it! This works similarly to the Quick Ball Exploit.

Use Koraidon or Miraidon
