Located in Stow-on-Side, there is a bargain shop that sells rare items where the prices are not fixed.

You can buy Pixie Plate for ₽3000 if it is the Bargain of the Day.

You can only buy one item per day so it is good to visit daily. Talk to the merchant to check yesterday's, tomorrow's, and today's Bargain of the Day.

How to Use Pixie Plate

Pixie Plate boosts the power of Fairy-type attacks by 20%. This is useful for Fairy-type attackers that need more power in dealing with bulky Dragon-type Pokemon. It also stacks with STAB.

Pixie Plate vs Choice Item

You may sometimes wonder if you should use Pixie Plate or either Choice Band or Choice Specs to your Fairy-type attacker.

Advantage Disadvantage
Pixie Plate ・20% damage boost to Fairy-type moves
・Can use all moves
・Only boost Fairy-type moves
Choice Band or Choice Specs ・50% boost to Atk/Sp.Atk ・Locked to one move

The right option will depend on how you want to use your Pokemon's moveset in battle.

If your Pokemon will only rely on one Fairy-type move, then a Choice item will be the better option. If you think your Pokemon needs to use a coverage or any other move somewhere down the road, then let it hold Pixie Plate.
