Family Items

Family items are items that only work for certain Pokémon families, increasing their stats or giving them a special effect. The effect depends on the item and affects the determined Pokémon and its evolutions (for example, a Bulba-Claw affects Bulbasaur, Ivysaur and Venusaur), with the only exception being the Eevee family in which the rarity 3 items only affect the respective Eeveelution. Rarity 1 and 2 family items can be found inside boxes dropped by Pokémon in dungeons. In order to get rarity 3 items, you must trade the lower rarity items at Croagunk's Swap Shop. Pokémon who do not have rarity 1 and 2 items have their rarity 3 items made via trading 5 random family items of any rarity.

"Exclusive 'Pokémon' items" refers to the family items for the specific Pokémon. "Exclusive Bulbasaur items" would refer to Bulba-Claw, Bulba-Fang and Grass Guard.
