Air Balloon
Items pocket · sells for $7,500
Effect
An item to be held by a Pokémon. The holder floats in the air. It bursts when the holder is hit by an attack.
Follow the linked quests for story requirements. A listed source does not always mean you can get the item more than once.
No confirmed way to get it. Only held by trainers' Pokémon. It pops when the Pokémon holding it is hit, so it can't be stolen with Thief or Covet. Another Air Balloon can be obtained; it is listed separately.
Other uses
Held by trainers’ Pokémon (43 teams)
A trainer's held item is not necessarily obtainable. Check the battle location and story conditions on their team page.
