Pickup

Effect

Picks up other Pokémon's used and Flung held items. May also pick up an item after battle.

At the end of each turn, if another Pokémon consumed or Flung a held item that turn, this Pokémon picks up the item if it is not already holding one. After each battle, this Pokémon has a 10% chance of picking up an item if it is not already holding one.

The Air Balloon and Eject Button cannot be picked up.

The items that may be found vary by game, and, since Pokémon Emerald, by the Pokémon's level. This ability is checked after the battle ends, at which point any temporary ability changes have worn off.

In battle

At the end of each turn, if this Pokemon is not holding an item and at least one adjacent Pokemon used an item during this turn, one of those Pokemon is selected at random and this Pokemon obtains that Pokemon's last used item. An item is not considered the last used if it was a popped Air Balloon, if the item was picked up by another Pokemon with this Ability, or if the item was lost to Bug Bite, Corrosive Gas, Covet, Incinerate, Knock Off, Pluck, or Thief. Items thrown with Fling can be picked up.

Main-series effects may vary by game.
