Thief is a Dark-type damage-dealing move.

Function

Thief deals damage and steals the target’s held item.

  • Items stolen from wild Pokémon are kept after the battle ends, but items which are stolen by wild Pokémon from you are lost. These conditions only applies to PRO.
  • Items stolen from the player’s Pokémon by a Trainer’s Pokémon are returned at the end of the battle and vice versa.
  • If the item would activate on attack (e.g. Focus Band), it does so before being stolen. If the item is consumable on attack (e.g. Focus Sash) then the item is consumed as normal and cannot be stolen.
  • Pokemon with the ability Sticky Hold cannot have their held item removed.
