Introduction
The Pickup ability lets certain Pokémon occasionally find items after battles. Items obtained through Pickup depend on the holder's level - higher-level Pokémon can find rarer and more valuable items. This guide lists every Pickup item by level range and includes tips to help you use Pickup effectively for item farming!
How Pickup Works
- After each battle, Pokémon with Pickup have a 10% chance to find an item
- The item found depends on the Pokémon's level
- The Pokémon must not already be holding an item
- Works in both wild and trainer battles
- Pickup can steal items consumed by the opponent during battle (like berries), similar to Gen V onwards
