On the subject of annoyances about held items with duplicate effects, the saga of the missing Fairy-type boosting held item, the one case in which I actively
want there to be a redundant item clone, continues to take me for a ride.
Gen 6: Introduces the Pixie Plate and Roseli Berry and even a virtually unused Fairy Gem, but no Charcoal/Mystic Water/Black Belt “generic” equivalent
Gen 7: We’re coasting; there’s still no generic equivalent added but at least all of the Plates can be obtained after beating Nanu
Gen 8: All 17 generic items are here, but because Arceus isn’t programmed into the game, none of the Plates are obtainable
except for the Pixie Plate, which can occasionally show up at the Stow-on-Side market. They had to make an exception for this Plate because it
is the only Fairy-type boosting held item.
Gen 9: All 17 generic items are here yet again, but this time, Arceus
is programmed into the game… but because it’s a transfer exclusive, its corresponding form change items can only be gotten from the market in Porto Marinada if you have an Arceus in your party… meaning that Fairy types simply have no boosting item to use
at all until HOME compatibility comes, and even then, you still need to own an Arceus that you can transfer over!
All you had to do was repurpose the old Pink Bow, GF
