Pickup (Japanese: ものひろい Picking Up Things) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. Fifteen Pokémon can have this Ability.

Effect

In battle

Generation III-IV

Pickup has no effect during battle.

Generation V and on

At the end of the turn in which another Pokémon used a one-time use item (including throwing an item with Fling or using Natural Gift), a Pokémon with Pickup will collect the item if they are not holding anything. If more than one Pokémon have Pickup or Harvest, the faster Pokémon will restore an item first. If multiple items can be collected, the Pokémon will collect the item most recently consumed.

A single Pokémon's Pickup will not activate more than once per turn.

Pickup cannot collect an item if the Pokémon that consumed the item is no longer on the field at the end of the turn, or if the item has already been recovered (such as with Recycle, another Pokémon's Pickup, or Harvest). Pickup cannot collect an item that a Pokémon consumed before switching out, even if it switched back in again before the end of the turn. Pickup cannot collect items that have been destroyed with Incinerate, eaten with Bug Bite or Pluck, or knocked off with Knock Off. A popped Air Balloon cannot be collected.

A Pokémon may only have one consumed item at a time; if a Pokémon consumes an item, obtains another item and consumes it, the original consumed item cannot be collected, even if the second item is collected or restored then swapped away. If the Pokémon obtains another item after consuming an item, Pickup can still collect the old item as long as the Pokémon does not consume the new one.

Outside of battle

After winning a battle, any Pokémon on the team that has this Ability and is not already holding an item has a 10% chance of creating a held item for itself, even if the Pokémon was not used in battle. This Ability is still active while the Pokémon is fainted.

Battle Pyramid

In addition, the Battle Pyramid has a separate list of items that can be received; this table, however, is instead based on the number of floors/rounds the player has completed inside the Pyramid.

The Pickup table and the item balls on the ground share this same pool of items.

Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness

As in Pokémon Emerald, the items gained from Pickup are dependent on level. Repels and Escape Ropes are of less importance due to the lack of wild Pokemon and were replaced with Paralyze Heal and Burn Heal.

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

While the Pickup items remained very similar to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, several changes were made in HeartGold and SoulSilver. Some evolutionary stones and TMs were replaced with similar items; new items were also added.

Pokémon Black and White

While the Pickup items remain very similar to HeartGold and SoulSilver overall, changes include previously-obtainable TMs replaced by Prism Scales, and where it was previously possible to obtain Ethers between levels 31 and 50, it is now possible to obtain a Lucky Egg between levels 41 and 60.

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

Again, only minor changes have been made to the item table. Lucky Eggs have been removed and Ethers have been re-inserted in the same place as in HeartGold and SoulSilver. The Max Repel available between levels 1 to 10 is replaced by a Hyper Potion.

Reason: exact chance of finding an item

Every time player enters a floor, Pokémon with Pickup will have chance to find an item that can appear on that floor (other than Poké) if it isn't holding an item. In Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, it will not activate prior to obtaining the Treasure Bag.

Pickup works for Makuhita Dojo, even though items do not spawn on the ground.
