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 Pokémon with Symbiosis has a held item, immediately after an ally's item is consumed, the Pokémon with Symbiosis will pass its item to that ally. Symbiosis may pass an item to a non-adjacent ally in a Triple Battle.  


Symbiosis triggers any time an ally Pokémon consumes its item, either directly or through the use of {{m|Fling}} or {{m|Natural Gift}}. If multiple Pokémon on the same side of a [[Triple Battle]] or [[Horde Encounter]] have Symbiosis, then Symbiosis will trigger on the faster Pokémon (even while {{m|Trick Room}} is in effect).

Symbiosis will not trigger if an ally'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}}, {{m|Bestow}}, {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}}, Symbiosis, or {{DL|In-battle effect item|Sticky Barb}}.

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 [[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. Otherwise, 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====
====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.
If an ally's {{DL|In-battle effect item|Eject Button}} is consumed, Symbiosis will activate and transfer an item to that ally after it switches out but before its replacement is sent out. Any item transferred in response to an Eject Button activating cannot activate 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).
