should i swicth it to handhelds or starter

Attach it to your starter and look on the maps. Then you can find hidden items if your lucky.

Goodluck with that :D also try looking at the weather because i think item finder affects it if it has a good or bad weather.

You don't attach it to your starter, you attach it to handhelds.I know this because I have a itemfinder myself (I think I'm correct):)

You are correct ffydebui, its attach to handhelds to the equipment of player. I only managed to get gems and berries using that item nothing worth finding yet for me.

Hoping this would reach 50 characters. hehehehehehehehehehheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheehehe

You can also get shards but more on what shards are used for will be told in the future.Ive currently only have a green shard but I can use it for anything.you should save it and see what it's used for in the future

shards?whats that tell me the exact how u finnd them also tell this cuz getting itemfinder i equip that to handhelds but couldnt find anything i also tried by starter but could not find anything itemfinder must detect where items are not to us to detect them right

can i get a coin with the item finder, or a certain pokemon would grab me when i have this handheld. hope to get a shiny creselia.

nah u dont get that but if u want coins so i can give u but not for free

well i have never gotten anything rare from the itemfinder just some berries .

Attach it to Handheld
check weather
set off
