As with in the main series, items can be used in Pokémon Unite to gain an advantage in battle.
There are two kinds of item in Unite: Held Items and Battle Items. Here we explain the difference, and list all available items.
Here is the full list of items, as of December 17, 2021.

You can buy new Held Items from the store, costing either 1000 Aeos Coins or 625 Aeos Tickets each.
Held Items can be upgraded to a maximum of Level 30, using the Item Enhancer bought in the Shop.
