Special drops

Special drops are items that can be obtained from boss Pokémon, PokéLoot chests, or Pickup. They primarily consist of different types of Poké Balls, Medicine, held items, and TMs. Special drops are split into three tiers of increasing rarity and item quality. Within each tier, items are randomly chosen with uniform probability to be obtained.
