Unburden

Doubles Speed upon using or losing a held item.

How it works

When this Pokémon uses or loses its held item, its Speed is doubled. If it gains another item or leaves battle, this bonus is lost.

This includes when the Pokémon drops its item because of Knock Off. This bonus does not count as a stat modifier. There is no notification when this ability takes effect.

Effects can vary between games. This is the synced main-series reference; check the rules of the game you are playing.
