PickupDescriptionIn single battles, if a one-time use item, such as Berries or gems, is consumed by your opponent, a Pokemon with Pickup gains the used item if they are not already holding one. In double or triple battles, it can also gain an ally’s item. A Pokemon using Pickup can also gain items thrown at it using Fling. However, Eject Button and Air Balloon cannot be picked up. In double and triple battles, if more than one user of Pickup is on the field at the same time, only the faster one will pick up the used item. Outside of battle, Pickup allows the Pokemon to receive a random free item after battling if it isn't already holding one. The item collected is based on the level of the Pokemon. Competitive UseThe ability has been improved from useless this generation. However, the ability is way too situational in singles battles, and in metagames like VGC, no Pokemon can really abuse Pickup anyway. Single-use items are only common in doubles and VGC so if you do see it, there would be the primary place to find it. The only decent user of it would be Ambipom anyway, which would always use Technician over Pickup. You will very seldom see Pickup used and even less of the time will it actually do something beneficial. Found normally
