Pickup

September 20, 2008

When Ruby and Sapphire hit the Pokemon scene a new ability came with them. This ability is known as Pickup.

Diamond and Pearl also allow for the Pickup ability and the following Pokemon can have this ability: Aipom, Ambipom, Linoone, Meowth, Munchlax, Pachirusu, Phanpy, Teddiursa and Zigzagoon.

Most players of Ruby and Sapphire made it a point to use their Zigzagoon/Linoone as an HM machine as well as an item finder. Even know I keep a Linoone in my party when training so that I can collect rare stones used for evolution.

If you keep a Pokemon with the Pickup ability in your party there is a 10% chance he will “pick something up” at the end of each battle.

Be aware that some of the rare items only appear if a Pokemon is within a certain level range. For example TM01 Focus Punch can only be found if your Pokemon is between levels 71 and 90. Once your Pokemon turns level 91 he can no longer Pickup a Focus Punch TM.
