Effect Summary

Gives the user's held item to the target.

Detailed Effect

Bestow gives the user's currently held item to the target.
Bestow bypasses accuracy stat img and evasion stat img checks to always hit except when the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of moves such as Dig or Fly.
The ability Sticky Hold prevents items from being moved.
The following items are always unable to be moved: Bestow hits the target even if it protected by Protect, Detect or Spiky Shield but fails when the target is protected by Crafty Shield.
In wild Pokémon battles, the item is permantently lost if the wild Pokémon faints.
In trainer battles, the item is recovered after battle.
  • In Gen 5 Bestow is also prevented by Protect and Detect.
  • From Gen 8 onwards this move can not be selected in battle.
