Item maniac
An item maniac (Japanese: 道具マニア item maniac) is a person who will purchase certain items from the player at a higher price than what they would be sold for to a Poké Mart. Some items can only be sold to item maniacs. They appeared in Generation V.

Notes
- Unlike Poké Marts, item maniacs will only buy items one at a time, regardless of how many of the item the player has.
- In Pokémon Black and White, there is an oversight where the Ore Maniac will not recognize a Leaf Stone as an acceptable ore, although he will recognize all other Evolution stones as such.
