Any Pokemon Black and White item location is worth knowing - what you find, you might need. If you don't need it, you can still use it. If you don't use it, you can sell it. And even if you don't sell it, you can brag to all your other friends that you have it, which is nice. So whether you're looking for TMs, evolutionary items or more, we've laid out where to find all the best items in Pokemon Black and White below.

Note: Some items that are readily and widely available for purchase (Potion, Repel etc) have been left off this list. In some cases, not every method of obtaining each item is listed. Dream World information will be added when the site launches outside of Japan. Last update: Mar 10, 2011

Check out our Pokemon Black and White post-game guide for what you can do when everything else is done.
