>>51148328Well, I oversimplified. A lot of trainers use berries, and a few other consumable items like White Herb.
I don't think a single trainer has a full team of 5 or 6 that all have items, though. And I don't think any of them use competitive, non-consumable items like Life Orb etc.
Cynthia, for example, just uses a single Sitrus Berry on her ace even in the post-game.
>>51148333Okay, I stand corrected on one point: Iris has a Life Orb on her Druddigon and a Focus Sash on her Haxorus, although her other 4 pokemon have no items.
Her entire team does have items in Challenge Mode. I'm not sure if that's the norm for Challenge Mode or not.
