What do item unlocks, the archive and templates do?

The short answer

Unlocked items join the Poké Ball reward pool. Archiving removes unwanted items from that pool. Save your selections as templates to switch between physical, special or other build plans.

More unlocks are not always more useful

Prioritise items that fit the builds you play. A reward pool full of unwanted effects can hinder a build even if those items have good rarity.

Check the active template

Archiving adjusts future offers; it does not discard items already held in the current run. Change templates when changing builds so useful items are not left archived.
