Using Frisk in wild Pokemon battles
Hi, I recently caught a Stantler in my HeartGold game with Frisk, mainly for the purpose of helping me find wild Pokemon that are holding items (e.g. Abra with a TwistedSpoon, Ditto with Metal Powder), just wondering, but if my Stantler is at the top of the party when sent into a wild Pokemon battle, can it tell when a wild Pokemon is holding an item?
Or do I have to make a switch for Frisk to work?
Either way, thanks in advance.

Oh, well, that's good. I taught my Stantler Role Play to scout for ability as well, so that'll probably be handy later on.

What's Frisk?
Re: Using Frisk in wild Pokemon battles
Sarcasm,? Or srs?
If Sarcasm- ha.
If srs-its a Ability that allows the user to shake down your opponent Pokemon before the match starts to see if they are holding any items.

So it's like a precognitive form of the move Thief, then?
I can see this being useful to me...
Re: Using Frisk in wild Pokemon battles
It doesn't take the item, but it does let you know if there's an item to take. Useful in competitive play to warn you about a foe holding a Choice item, or a Toxic Orb that it might be planning on foisting off on you...etc...

Well seeing how Thief is a crapshoot at best and a shitty waste of a moveslot at worst, I can see how the two could combine in-game for some practical applications. Like against wild Chanseys.
