Items are permanent progression tools in PokéPath TD. Buying the wrong ones early can slow your account badly, while the right purchases can multiply your damage, range, or farming efficiency across every run.
This PokéPath TD Items Guide explains what each item does, why it matters, and when it is worth buying.

Item Priority for New Players
If you are early or midgame, do not buy everything.
Best early purchases:
- Carbos
- Protein
- Life Orb
- Amulet Coin
Best midgame scaling items:
- Choice Scarf
- Heart Scale
- Old Rod
- Shield Breaker Bullet
Items like Ring Target, Air Balloon, Squirt Bottle, and Heavy-Duty Boots are not bad, but they only shine in specific setups. Buy them later when you understand mechanics better.
