items.js defines eleven held items. You carry one at a time, for the current run. upgrades.js contains thirteen regular permanent tracks plus a separate Starting Move unlock: fourteen source records in total. The searchable tables show exact effects, maximum levels, individual level prices and totals. Item effects are not a universal ranking; the practical value depends on the Pokémon and build.

Eleven held-item effects from items.js, with names checked against official lang-en.js.
Item	Effect I read
Leftovers	Restore 1.5% HP each second

The thirteen regular permanent tracks cover HP, damage, movement speed, cooldown, defense, regeneration, pickup radius, experience, coins, extra starting moves, critical hits, card rerolls and bans. Starting Move, added 19 October, is a separate 400-coin one-time unlock per Pokémon that lets you choose the opening move; subsequent changes are free. Do not confuse that unlock with Repertoire, which starts you with two moves. Official English labels in the database come from lang-en.js.

For an upgrade with L levels already owned, next-level cost is Math.round(base × grow^L / 10) × 10. The table lists those rounded prices in purchase order and sums them for the zero-to-max total. This is not the same as rounding a geometric-series total once. Data version d2dfaee739, Git commit 3c9641c9e782cf74afbde490f39cd60adf59e32b, checked 21 October 2026.
