Can Pokemon hold items in the anime?

Yes they can; case in point, Dawn’s Piplup.

Nurse Joy then tells Dawn she has something for her, and Chansey presents Dawn with an Everstone, which has the power to prevent a Pokémon from evolving for as long as it wants.

Piplup obviously has to hold the stone; it can’t “use” it up, like an evolutionary stone. Hold items just don’t get much coverage in the anime, probably because the anime stresses more about a Pokemon’s own power, rather than having their abilities boosted by items.

Well I cannot find anything that says that a Pokemon has held an item that was used in a battle, so,NO the Pokemon in the anime do not hold items that are used in battle.

I mean when you think about yes they can hold items. They have hands and all. But there isn’t a show where a Pokemon was seen using an item.

So to break it down a bit,

Theycanhold itemsItems are not used in battlesThere are items featured in the anime, such as the Razor Fang

But in the end items are not a large part of the anime
