Done Text change for Pickup

The description for Pickup is a bit confusing. I’d rewrite it like this:

“If an adjacent Pokémon consumed a one-time use item (including those thrown with Fling or Natural Gift), at the end of the turn, this Pokémon will take the item if it does not have one. Does not work with popped Air Balloons or items lost to Bug Bite, Corrosive Gas, Covet, Incinerate, Knock Off, Pluck, or Thief."

The generations without Natural Gift wouldn't include that obviously

While this ability is not relevant at all competitively, it is very nuanced, especially in Doubles if multiple Pokemon have it. I don't think it is necessary to list out those nuances however.

“If an adjacent Pokémon consumed a one-time use item (including those thrown with Fling or Natural Gift), at the end of the turn, this Pokémon will take the item.”

The problem is that this is likely too long. Descriptions have to be able to fit within the /data command's text box which is about 488px wide.

This is for the Smogon dex description. Many abilities like Lightning Rod have much longer descriptions

The longest /data ability description I could find was Quick Draw:
"This Pokemon has a 30% chance to move first in its priority bracket with attacking moves." (89 characters)

For Pickup, a /data description could be:
"If this Pokemon has no item, at the end of the turn, it takes one used by another Pokemon" (89 characters)
