Does Corrosive Gas activate Unburden?

Question

For doubles. I don't think the Pokemon that can learn this move have Unburden

Comments

Theoretically. Knock does, and corrosive gas should do the same. Im not really sure though

Corrosive Gas doesn't remove the item, so I don't think it activates Unburden.

"Unburden
If this Pokemon loses its held item for any reason, its Speed is doubled. This boost is lost if it switches out or gains a new item or Ability."
Corrosive gas is a reason, so im assuming yes
