New Gen 3 raid item ideas
Much like when we got TMs, rare candies, and golden razz, we should get protein, zinc, and HP UP like in the games.
Protein: raises attack stats by .5 or 1
Zinc: raises defense stats " " ".
HP UP: raises HP stats " " ".
Turn that disappointing low IV mon (i.e. my shiny Gyarados) into something you'll use.

Pinaps are extremely relevant, been well provisioned on nearly every top tier mon's candy simply by pinapping every mon of their lines I've encountered. Don't need to pay for premium raid passes either, just to pray for a reward of a few rare candies (and then only if I get lucky). Why anyone uses rare candy on anything currently available with Mewtwo on the horizon still baffles me.
Why does it sound "useless"? If they would be as rare of rewards as current TM drops I think they would be great for at least maxing out the Attack stat of an already 80%+ mon if it's not already, help make sure your raid dps is more optimized. Though having a separate item for each stat seems less useful and would create more extraneous items similar to the evolution items.
