Learn how the Frisk ability in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl reveals if a Pokémon is holding an item, useful in trainer battles and wild encounters.

The Frisk ability is a useful passive effect that can be activated by having a Pokémon with this ability as the lead Pokémon in your party. When activated, a message will appear on your screen indicating whether the opposing Pokémon (either in a trainer battle or a wild encounter) is holding an item. This allows you to know beforehand if there's an item to potentially obtain.

Pokémon with Frisk:

  • Stantler
  • Shuppet
  • Banette
Tips
  • Having a Pokémon with Frisk as your lead Pokémon is the only way to activate its effect.
  • This ability is valuable for identifying Pokémon that might be holding rare or useful items.
