Move-Find:

For all cool items that are found with Move-Find, you need low brave on the person with Move-Find to have a good chance at obtaining the best item. If you find crap like Phoenix Down, reset and try again. All the poached items are the rare ones so the poaching trick may help. (Check the "Poaching List" section for more details.)
