Change your preferences here. Switcheroo
Switches hold items with the target. Does not work on Pokémon with Sticky Hold or Multitype. This move does not work on Giratina-O. This move works even if the user has no item. Switcheroo fails if either pokemon holds Mail. If a Pokémon with a Choice Band, Choice Scarf, or Choice Specs is Switcherooed by / uses Switcheroo on a Pokémon that does not have a Choice item itself, the Pokémon that has the Choice item after the Switcheroo will be free to use whatever move it wants on the next turn only if it went first. That Pokémon will be free to select whichever move it likes regardless of whether it was originally the Pokémon with the Choice item. The Pokémon that moved second will always be locked into whatever move it used on the turn it was Switcherooed if it is the one holding the Choice item after the Switcheroo. However, if both Pokémon are holding a Choice item, and either Pokémon uses Switcheroo, then both Pokémon will be locked in to whatever move they used on the turn of the Switcheroo(s). For example, if Choice Scarf Linoone is facing Choice Scarf Bronzong, and Linoone uses Switcheroo while Bronzong uses Stealth Rock, Linoone will be stuck using Switcheroo the next turn, and Bronzong will be stuck using Stealth Rock and therefore have virtually no reason to stay in, meaning Linoone, if it decides to stay in, will have no choice but to Switcheroo the Choice Scarf onto the incoming Pokémon (unless it has Sticky Hold or Multitype). To expound on this, if the Bronzong user switches in Swampert to the Switcheroo, Linoone would be free to use whatever it wants. But if it uses Switcheroo again and Swampert stays in to do whatever, then the next turn, Linoone will be forced to use Switcheroo, and not something like Reflect or U-turn.
