Effect

At the end of the turn, the Sticky Barb damages the holder by 12.5% of its maximum HP each turn. If a Pokémon with no held item hits a Pokémon holding a Sticky Barb with a contact move, including Knock Off, the Sticky Barb will transfer to the Pokémon that used the move (even if the original holder has the Sticky Hold Ability).

The Sticky Barb does not damage Pokémon with the Ability Magic Guard.
