• Eldegoss – Exp. Share, Focus Band and Buddy Barrier
• Venusaur – Shell Bell, Wise Glasses and Sp. Atk. Specs / Focus Band
• Wigglytuff – Shell Bell, Wise Glasses and Buddy Barrier

Which items are the meta?

When it comes to items that are used most, it does seem like things such as Muscle Band, Float Stone, Buddy Barrier, Wise Glasses and Shell Bell are most commonly used and are featured in almost every build. The same goes for some of the tanky options, with almost every tanky Pokémon opting into Buddy Barrier. Exp. Share on the other hand doesn’t seem to be used that much.

According to the Rank 1 player, some items don’t get any use at all, such as Leftovers, Attack Weight and Rocky Helmet, preferring other options.
