Did SwSh remove any other* held items (or make them unobtainable)?

2 minute read

*other than mega stones, Z-crystals, items that have no effect when held in battle, or items that have an effect in battle only when held by a removed Pokemon (blue orb, for example)I know they removed a bunch of Pokemon and moves, but all the remaining Pokemon keep their abilities. So this is the only part of the “Dexit” that I don’t know. The normal gem is the only obtainable one of the type gems, right?

SwSh did not remove any items from the inner code (in fact, to my knowledge, no item has been removed from the code of any Pokémon game since Gen 4). However, many items from old generations are set to go to an inaccessible “unknown pocket” in the bag, effectively putting them on par with glitch items. And there are some items that are assigned to an existing bag pocket, but are unobtainable through any legitimate means as of writing this.

I’m putting my sources up here because it’s a long list: mostlysource 1, which I compared againstsource 2

Because sumwun nagged me, here is alist of unobtainable items that would have an effect in battle if held by a Pokémon currently available in SwSh:

Enigma BerryMicle BerryCustap BerryJaboca BerryRowap BerryAll of Arceus' plates except the Pixie Plate (which can be obtained at Stow-on-Side)(arguably) Exp. ShareRazor FangAll the type-strengthening gems except normal

Items that would be accessible in the bag, but cannot be obtained:
