Frisk (Ability)

Frisk (Japanese: おみとおし Unobstructed Sight) is an Ability introduced in Generation IV. Fifteen Pokémon can have this Ability.

Effect

In battle

Frisk allows the Pokémon to see the opponent's held item upon entering battle. If the foe is holding an item, a message telling which item the Pokémon is holding will be shown right after the Pokémon with Frisk Ability enters the battle. If the foe isn't holding an item, no message will appear.

In a Double Battle, an unidentified opponent is randomly chosen and their held item revealed.

Outside of battle

Frisk has no effect outside of battle.
