Diamonds are one-time use items that increase the power of a move that corresponds with the diamond. For example, an Ice Diamond increases the power of Ice-type moves and a Fire Diamond increases the power of Fire-type moves.

Silks
Silks increase two stats for a certain Pokémon type by 20 when kept in the bag, much like dusts. Which stats are increased differs between dusts and silks of the same type. Silks are typically found in sealed chambers, opened with a Silver Key, found within certain dungeons on certain floors.

Bands
Bands, when held, allow the holder to indefinitely endure moves of a specific type. This means that the holder will, instead of fainting to a move of that type, always be left at 1 HP. For example, the Alloy Band endures against Steel-type moves, thus a Pokémon can never faint you with Flash Cannon while holding it.

Trivia

 * Icy Crystals used to be obtainable from Iceberg Adrift's end boxes.
 * Gems were split into Gems and Crystals on March 12th, 2019. These now exclusively give their corresponding types status immunity and boosted movement speed respectively in suitable weather.
 * Diamonds are main series items normally called Gems. They were changed to Diamonds in PMU to not conflict and cause confusion with the gems from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon.
 * The cost of Gems and Crystals was increased from 15 to 25 on January 15th, 2021.
 * Prior to the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the Blank Plate was called Routine Plate.
