Angus, for example, is a DPS (damage per second) attacker, Sigurd becomes immune to damage for 5 seconds, and Moloch does damage while stunning the enemy. Marksmen, meanwhile, are projectile launchers that fight at the back and tend to be on the squishier side – we won’t go into detail here, as they work very similarly to each other. What do you mean? +gem levels on items have nothing to do with it. Regardless of whether or not a gem is corrupted they still get the +levels from items, if socketed in an item with +levels. Corrupting is the only way to get over level 20 on the gem itself. For articles on other pig-like creatures, see Pig Creature (Disambiguation).

In the core series
The capability to hold items was first introduced in Generation II; however, when a Pokémon obtained in Generation I is traded to a Generation II game through the Time Capsule, it may be holding an item, such as a TM09 held by an Abra. Likewise, items held by Pokémon traded to Generation I will not be lost.
Held items range from Berries, which can be used in battle for recovery of HP, curing of a status condition, raising of a stat, and other effects; to the Soothe Bell, which boosts friendship gained.
Mechanics
Though most items can be held by a Pokémon, many have no effect while held. Key Items and HMs cannot be held; in Generation IV, only Giratina can hold the Griseous Orb, and Apricorns and Poké Balls made from them cannot be held; from Generation V onward, TMs cannot be held. Any other type of item may be held, but medicine (except Berry Juice), TMs, Evolution stones, Fossils, Repels, escape items, battle items, valuable items, exchangeable items, Mulch, Flutes, and Wings have no effect apart from changing the power of Fling and increasing the damage taken from Knock Off (from Generation VI onward). Poké Balls have no effect while held and cannot be flung.
Wild Pokémon can be encountered holding an item, which the player can obtain by catching the Pokémon or by using certain moves or Abilities. Wild Pokémon can steal the player's Pokémon's items in every generation except Generations III and IV.

Pokémon Stadium 2
Pokémon Stadium 2 may connect to Generation I or Generation IIcore series games via the Transfer Pak, and is compatible with held items. While Generation I games don't use held items, Pokémon Stadium 2 is equally able to use held items from the connected games of both generations.
