Wild Held Items

In Polished Crystal, wild Pokémon can sometimes be found holding a common item (item 1, 50%) or a rare item (item 2, 5%). If a Pokémon has the same item in both held-item slots, the probability will be 55%. always item 2 is used for the guaranteed held item.

Having a Pokémon leading your party with the Ability Compound Eyes or Super Luck (or, only in the Regular version, holding an Amulet Coin) will increase the odds of finding a held item on a wild Pokémon to 60% and 20% for item 1 and item 2, respectively. Note that Thief will not steal an item if the user is already holding an item.

In the Regular version, the Amulet Coin method pairs well with Repels and encounter-inducing Abilities. Flash Fire, Lightning Rod / Static, Harvest, and Magnet Pull have a 50% chance of inducing the corresponding type Pokémon; and Arena Trap, Illuminate, and No Guard double the encounter rate per step.
