Symbiosis passes along the user's item to its partner immediately after the partner's item is consumed. Symbiosis can pass an item to a non-adjacent ally in a Triple 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, or loses its item through the use of {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Bestow}}, or {{m|Natural Gift}}. Symbiosis will not trigger if the opponent removes an ally Pokémon's item through the use of {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Knock Off}}, {{a|Magician}}, or {{a|Pickpocket}}. An [[Air Balloon]] popping will trigger Symbiosis. [[Sticky Barb]] transferring with its own effect and transferring an item with Symbiosis will not trigger Symbiosis. If multiple Pokémon on the same side of a Triple battle have Symbiosis, then Symbiosis will trigger on the faster Pokémon.
Symbiosis triggers any time an ally Pokémon consumes its item, either directly or through the use of {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Bestow}}, or {{m|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 {{m|Trick Room}} is in effect).


If an item such as 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. If an in-a-pinch Berry is received through Symbiosis then the Pokémon will use it immediately as long as its health is low enough to consume the berry normally.
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 {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Trick}}, {{m|Switcheroo}}, {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}}, {{a|Symbiosis}}, or [[Sticky Barb]].


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 after an Eject Button is consumed cannot be activated at this time.
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 [[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 an 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<!--, a [[Griseous Orb]] to or from {{p|Giratina}}, or a [[Plate]] to a Pokémon with {{a|Multitype}}-->.
