Read more ↓Nugget is not a Pokémon but rather an item that appears throughout the Pokémon franchise, often as a valuable treasure or a reward for completing certain tasks. Introduced in the very first generation of Pokémon games, Red and Blue, the Nugget quickly established itself as a coveted item due to its sole purpose: to be sold for a significant amount of money in the in-game shops. This makes it a direct representation of wealth and value within the Pokémon world. Its appearance is typically that of a shimmering, golden, spherical object, symbolizing its precious metal composition. While it doesn't have a natural habitat or diet like a Pokémon, its presence in caves, hidden locations, or as a prize in various events reinforces its status as a rare and sought-after commodity. Nuggets have consistently appeared in every main series Pokémon game, maintaining their function as a valuable item for players to acquire and sell to fund their adventures, purchase Poké Balls, or buy other essential supplies. Its cultural significance lies in its universal recognition among Pokémon fans as a symbol of early game financial boosts and a simple, yet effective, reward mechanism. The item itself doesn't evolve or have type matchups, but its utility is a constant across all Pokémon generations.
