[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

If you improved the pearl's jewelry value, you could also make some extra $$. Put it in a nice stand, polish it, maybe even cut it (google says that's a thing). 

Though a Pink Pearl is much more useful, it's also a more renewable resource. As a Gen III Pokemon, Clamperl is uncommon but not rare. The majority never reach evolution, though, to produce a pearl. And then you have to find it...

True.  

Yeah, unlike Clamperl, the pearls themselves are a once in a lifetime thing...and I doubt evolving a Clamperl via trade produces a pearl, either.  So while Clamperl Pearls are technically renewable, they're super duper rare...

Even if I were to obtain another item that boosts psychic attacks, though, I'd probably still hold on to the pearl because I have so many psychic types that could benefit from that kind of item, either now or in the future.
