Symbiosis (Japanese: きょうせい Symbiosis) is an Ability introduced in Generation VI. It is one of two signature Abilities of Flabébé's evolutionary line, the other being Flower Veil. This Ability is exclusively obtained as a Hidden Ability.

Effect

In battle

Symbiosis passes along the user's item to its partner immediately after the partner's item is consumed. An Air Balloon popping will trigger Symbiosis. Symbiosis can pass an item to a non-adjacent ally in a Triple Battle.

Symbiosis triggers any time an ally Pokémon consumes its item, either directly or through the use of Fling, Bestow, or Natural Gift. If multiple Pokémon on the same side of a Triple Battle have Symbiosis, then Symbiosis will trigger on the faster Pokémon (even while Trick Room is in effect).

Symbiosis will not trigger if an ally Pokémon's item is moved to a different Pokémon; this means that Symbiosis will not be triggered by the effect of Thief, Covet, Trick, Switcheroo, Magician, Pickpocket, Symbiosis, or Sticky Barb.

If a Gem was consumed in response to the start of a move and the item received through Symbiosis would normally affect the power of the triggering move, then the item's effect will be applied immediately; however, if a Plate or Drive is given to a Pokémon using Judgment or Techno Blast after consuming a Normal Gem, the move's type will not change. If a consumable item is received through Symbiosis and the Pokémon can currently consume it, it will use it immediately. If a type-resist Berry is consumed in response to an attack, Symbiosis will not give the Pokémon an item until after the damage is dealt.

If the Eject Button is consumed, Symbiosis will transfer an item to it after it switches out but before the replacement is sent out. Any item transferred in response to an Eject Button activating cannot be activated at this time.

Symbiosis cannot transfer a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve with it.

Outside of battle

It is unknown if Symbiosis has an effect outside of battle.
