Magician (Japanese: マジシャン Magician) is an Ability introduced in Generation VI.
Effect
In battle
When a Pokémon with Magician hits another Pokémon with a damaging move, it will steal the held item of the Pokémon that it hit. Magician will not activate if the user already has a held item.
Fling, Natural Gift, Future Sight and Doom Desire do not activate the Ability. Thief, Covet, and Knock Off will steal or destroy the target's held item before Magician steals it. Magician will not activate if the Pokémon is holding a Gem even if the Gem is consumed when using the move.
If the user faints when using the move (such as due to the target's Liquid Ooze or held Rocky Helmet, or due to the Pokémon with this Ability using a move that causes it to faint).
Magician activates after the last strike of a multi-strike move. Pickpocket activates after Magician, so the Pokémon that has Pickpocket will always end up with the item if the move is a contact move.
It cannot steal from a Pokémon with Sticky Hold. It cannot steal a Z-Crystal. It cannot steal a Griseous Orb if either Pokémon is Giratina, a Plate from a Pokémon with Multitype, a Memory from a Pokémon with RKS System, a Drive if either Pokémon is Genesect, a Mega Stone if either Pokémon can Mega Evolve using it, a Blue Orb if either Pokémon is Kyogre, or a Red Orb if either Pokémon is Groudon.
Outside of battle
It is unknown if Magician has an effect outside of battle.
