A simple thread. Create an item (or items) that could be held to influence the flow of battle either for the better or worse.
Mine:
Erasers
(Grass Eraser, Ghost Eraser, etc)
When held, it removes the specified typing from the holding Pokemon. If the pokemon is of a single type (Like Gogoat, a pure grass type), said pokemon becomes "Normal".
This item, in my opinion, has the capability to either broaden or break the metagame. Obviously, there would be some sort of alert (akin to activated abilities) required to notify the opponent, but with this item, you have the ability of making dual-types single type, removing any weakness (wherein also removing any buffs from a second type).
The strategy behind this would have to be well thought out on both parts. A pokemon like Dragonite with a Flying Eraser could make itself pure Dragon, removing a 4x weakness to Ice in favor of simply a 2X weakness. Yes, I know this is a bad example, but you get my point.
So, what kind of held items would you make if you had the chance?
