Switcheroo Move in Wild Battles make Items disappear

[Reptain]

Hi,

 

as the title suggests, whenever you swap items in a wild battle (Switcheroo), you will loose your held item. 

Not sure whether this is intended or not, cause that happened to me a few times already and it kinda sucks realizing your item dissapeared cause you pressed the wrong move/misinput.

Shouldn't the item be restored to your Pokemon after the fight? (Like after Boss-Battles)

 

Can record a video if needed.

Thanks for reading

Hello! I am sorry for the inconvenience. 

 

Unfortunately, items are not recovered if they end up in a wild Pokémon's possession.

The same applies if the opposing Pokémon's Ability is Pickpocket, or if the items were swapped and then either the Pokémon was defeated or you fled the battle.

I understand your frustration, but it's the players responsibility to take care of their items and pay attention during battles.

 

Battles against NPCs work differently, and item interactions are handled differently than in wild battles.

 

I hope this information was helpful and answered your questions.

Please let me know if you need anything else.

 

Regards.
