When a Pokemon holding a terrain seed is in its respective terrain, it will now be treated as having no item after it gains the boost, which removes Knock Off's boost and makes Poltergeist useless.

Case: Life Orb Absol using Knock Off/Poltergeist on Grassy Seed Rillaboom in gen 8

Current:
252 Atk Life Orb Absol Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. +1 240 HP / 0 Def Grassy Seed Rillaboom: 152-179 (37.9 - 44.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Grassy Terrain recovery
252 Atk Life Orb Absol Poltergeist vs. +1 240 HP / 0 Def Grassy Seed Rillaboom: 114-135 (28.4 - 33.6%) -- 95.9% chance to 4HKO after Grassy Terrain recovery

New:
252 Atk Life Orb Absol Knock Off vs. +1 240 HP / 0 Def Rillaboom: 101-121 (25.1 - 30.1%) -- 0.1% chance to 4HKO after Grassy Terrain recovery
Absol Poltergeist vs. Rillaboom: 0-0 (0 - 0%) -- possibly the worst move ever
