(How does this page not mention Pluck/Bug Bite or Knock Off at all? I thought I looked into them (although I forget what my results were)...)

Immediately after an ally's item is consumed, Symbiosis passes along the user's item. An {{DL|In-battle effect item|Air Balloon}} popping will trigger Symbiosis. Symbiosis can pass an item to a non-adjacent ally in a Triple Battle.

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 {{m|Judgment}} or {{m|Techno Blast}} after consuming a Gem, the move's type will not change. If a [[Gem]] was consumed in response to the start of a move and the item received through Symbiosis is another Gem, it will not also consume the new Gem. If a [[Power Herb]] was consumed to use a move and the item received through Symbiosis is an appropriate Gem, the Gem will be immediately consumed. 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 activate after the damage is dealt. If an item is consumed using Fling or Natural Gift, Symbiosis will not activate until after the damage is dealt.

Symbiosis cannot transfer a [[Mega Stone]] to or from a Pokémon that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] with it, a {{DL|Timespace orbs|Griseous Orb}} to or from {{p|Giratina}}, a [[Drive]] to or from {{p|Genesect}}, or a Plate to a Pokémon with {{a|Multitype}}.
===Eject Button===
If an {{DL|In-battle effect item|Eject Button}} is consumed, Symbiosis will activate and 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.

When the Pokémon that was switched out by the Eject Button is switched in again, until it is switched out, if its item is activated its effect will be applied twice. If the Pokémon's item is removed or moved to another Pokémon, the item behaves as normal (i.e. it only applies once).
*[[Black Sludge]] will hurt or heal the holder twice per turn (the item activation animation will display each time).
*[[Sticky Barb]] will hurt the holder twice (the item activation animation will display each time).
*[[Life Orb]] will decrease the holder's HP twice.
*[[Leftovers]] will heal the holder four times (the item activation animation will display twice, once before applying, once after healing twice).
*Stat-stage boosting held items, such as the [[Weakness Policy]] and [[Salac Berry]], will boost stats twice (the item activation animation will only display once).
*{{cat|Damage-reducing Berries}} will quarter the damage instead of halving it (although the activation message will only be displayed once).
 
Some items are affected in entirely non-functional ways.
*The [[Quick Claw]] and [[Power Herb]] will display their activation messages twice.
*The [[Air Balloon]] will display the floating message twice (but will only display the burst message once).
 
The [[Red Card]], Eject Button, [[Berry Juice]], [[Leppa Berry]], {{cat|HP-restoring Berries}}, and {{cat|Status-restoring Berries}} are unaffected. The move {{m|Fling}} is also unaffected.
