>>32373383>aside from the notorious rare items from past generations like mega stones and master ball, are there any new items I should look for?Bottle caps (if any), destiny knot or power items (if any) and all the items you get only once:
- Apricorn balls
- Smoke Ball
- Cleanse Tag
- Flame Orb
- The weather rocks
- Shell bell
- Soothe bell
- Float Stone
- The focus items
- The lenses
- Lagging Tail
- Power Herb
- Bright Powder
- Air Balloon
- Metronome
- Red Card
- Eviolite
- Quick Claw
- Expert Belt
- Muscle Band
- Stick
- Lucky Punch
- Light Ball
- Soul Dew
- The orbs
- The drives
- Dragon scale
- Reaper Cloth
- Whipped Dream
- Sachet
- The items that boost x-type moves
- Terrain Extender
- The seeds
- Normal Gem
- The arceus plates
- The silvally memories
Of course, most of these are held items and in competitions you often aren't allowed to use more than one of each in your team anyway, but they might be useful as trade fodder or something.
I haven't verified each of these is only obtainable once per game (I haven't checked what is buyable from the battle tree/royale), but I'm pretty sure I have all obtainable items, and these are the ones I only have one of.
Other than that, depending on what you value, some rare berries or evolution stones could be useful.
