Effect

In battle

This ability prevents the user's held item from being taken by Covet or Thief, traded by Trick or Switcheroo, or removed by Knock Off.

Outside of battle

From Pokémon Emerald onwards, if a Pokémon with Sticky Hold is in first place in your party, bites will occur more often while fishing.
