Recycle (Japanese: リサイクル Recycle) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation III.

Effect

Recycle allows the user to regain a single-use held item, such as a Berry, once it has been consumed, as many times as you'd like. Any requirements needed to activate the item are still required once the item has been recycled. Recycle can recover items consumed by Bug Bite, Fling, Natural Gift, and Pluck, but not items lost by Covet, Knock Off, Switcheroo, Thief, or Trick.
