Heart-Mail is an in-game item in the Pokémon series that serves primarily for decorative and message-sending purposes rather than for battle utility. Its design prominently features a heart motif, making it visually distinct and themed around themes of affection or friendship.
Heart-Mail has no direct effect on the Pokémon holding it in terms of battle mechanics, stats, or abilities. Instead, its primary function is to be attached to a Pokémon, allowing the player to write a custom message. This message can then be sent to other players through trading. In games where the feature is supported, Heart-Mail, like other types of Mail, facilitates the personal touch of communicating between players, usually trainers who have a connection or wish to convey specific sentiments.
