Klutz (Japanese: ぶきよう Clumsy) is an ability introduced in Generation IV. Two Pokémon have this ability, both from the same evolutionary line.

Effect

In battle

Klutz prevents the use of held items. The ability disables the effect of the held item, rather than preventing an item from being held. However, items which affect EXP, such as the Lucky Egg, can still be used. Also, items which effect Effort values, such as the Power Weight, can be used.

Outside of battle

Klutz has no effect outside of battle.

Trivia

Strategically, Klutz appears to be intended to be used to switch negative items (such as Iron Ball and Lagging Tail) with the opponent without suffering from the penalties of those items before the switch. However, the Pokémon that have Klutz don't learn an item switching move naturally, and can only learn Switcheroo by breeding.
