Hold Items

Achromatic said:
Sure I do! Always. What items do you give them?

I mostly give them Lucky Eggs and some of the other basic items you can find without too much trouble now days. A Quick Claw and an Expert Belt helps out a lot too. 8)

An Amulet Coin for one member and Luck Incenses for the rest!
 
I give them whatever I find while walking through the game. Hold items are not as useful compared to when they're used competitively, but it's nice to have your Pokemon hold something to give a little bonus, like with the Amulet Coin or Quick Claw. Before 6th Gen, I always had that one underleveled 'mon who would always be holding the Exp. Share, never sent out to fight.
 
I never gave my pokemons a single item during my initial run of firered and emerald!
But due to the battle frontier in emerald,I realised how much important are items in a pokemon battle!
Since then,u will find an item on each of my mon!
 
I use the move boosting items (Charcoal, Magnet, Dragon Fang and some plates). Other than those, I use Lucky Eggs, Quick Claw, and Razor Claw. I normally use items in my DS games since I can always trade them into my new files. For Sapphire and Emerald, I don't give them items until I can find them in game since I don't have the means to trade between them.
 
I forget to give them items a lot of the time but if I do, I usually give them a Lucky Egg or Amulet Coin! I also try to give them type-boosting items such as the Plates or the Soothe Bell if they need max friendship to evolve. :]
 
I always give one member the Amulet Coin because why wouldn't I? Usually if I have items that boost a move that I commonly use on a Pokémon (usually STAB), I'll give those to the other Pokémon. And of course, if I have a Light Ball and a Pikachu, well, you know.
 
Sometimes I let it hold stat booster and type boosters, but most of the time I give them berries like Sitrus in case HP goes low or lum berry to eliminate confusion and other status problems.
 
Aside from the Lucky Egg, sometimes i'll give my Pokémon items like the type-boosting ones such as Mystic Water, Miracle Seed, Expert Belt, etcetera. The Rocky Helmet is nice too, and Leftovers as well. There are a handful of nice held items to give to my team members.
 
One Pokemon is always holding the Amulet Coin for most of the game! The others are usually holding the items that boost damage such as a Mystic Water or a Miracle Seed. Sometimes, one Pokemon would hold a Lucky Egg for exp. However, whenever I'm preparing for a event, such as a Gym Leader battle or the Elite Four, I always equip items that boost damage (again, Mystic Water/Miracle Seed) over items like the Amulet Coin or the Lucky Egg :P
 
Yeah the typical player-focused items are my primary objective. Amulet Coin, EXP Share, Lucky Egg. Anything that boosts STAB or boosts whatever my primary moves are on my team, idk. If I'm overleveling I don't bother, but an extra boost for the gyms is helpful sometimes.
 
I do use held items when I can. Notable ones include the Lucky Egg and Amulet Coin due to their usefulness and just how much easier they make certain things become.
 
I usually have the Amulet Coin on somebody so I can get a crapton of money I don't really need and not have to worry about running out when I buy 234,232,312 Full Restores or Ultra Balls at the Pokemart much later in the game.

Usually I give the Pokemon I'm trying to evolve for the PokeDex the Exp. Share and then go out and "beat up" a bunch of wild Pokemon.

In my playthrough of White 2 I used the Lucky Egg a lot. It really made my life so much easier when training for the gyms/Elite Four.
 
In norma playtrought, I don't except for the lucky egg. But in me competitive play, yes always.
 
I usually forget to give my pokemon any kind of items to hold. I did give my...Luxray, I think? in Platinum a Quick Claw, but that was a desperate attempt to give myself any kind of edge against the fourth gym since I was still a bit underleveled and I was tired of finding pokemon and leveling those up as well to help and I just wanted the gym beat now.

(I eventually got lucky enough to manage it, and I think Luxray still has that Quick Claw on her because why not.)

But otherwise, nah. They don't get items because I don't remember to do so.
