How it works in Champions

If an ally uses its item, this Pokémon gives its item to that ally immediately. Does not activate if the ally's item was stolen or knocked off, or if the ally used an Eject Button or Eject Pack.

“The Pokémon passes its held item to an ally that has used up an item.”

In-game text, Scarlet & Violet
