On Smogon's Movedex:

Knock Off (Japanese: はたきおとす Knock Off) is a damage-dealing Dark-type move introduced in Generation III. It is TM181 in Generation IX.

Effect

Generations III and IV

Knock Off inflicts damage and renders the target's held item unusable for the rest of the battle (even if switched out). The Pokémon is still listed as holding the item on the status screen and cannot obtain another item, nor can it restore the knocked off item with Recycle.

If Knock Off triggers an item (such as a Focus Band, Focus Sash, or Colbur Berry) after the attack, that item activates before Knock Off can knock it off (in the case of the Focus Band, which is not consumed, it will be removed after its effect has activated).

If an Exp. Share or Lucky Egg was knocked off, the Pokémon will still gain experience accordingly. If an Amulet Coin was knocked off, the Pokémon will still gain prize money accordingly.

Even if the user faints when using Knock Off (such as due to the target's Rough Skin or user's Life Orb), it still knocks off the target's held item.

Knock Off cannot knock off Mail, an item from Pokémon with the Sticky Hold Ability, or if it hits a Pokémon's substitute. It also cannot knock off any item from a Pokémon with Multitype or a Griseous Orb from any Pokémon.

Knock Off can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 1 bonus appeal point if Fake Out was used in the previous turn.

Generation V

Knock Off now removes the held item rather than rendering it unusable, so the Pokémon can obtain another item if its held item is removed by Knock Off. Recycle still cannot recover an item removed by Knock Off.

Wild Pokémon cannot remove held items of the player's Pokémon.

If the user faints due to the target's Ability (Rough Skin or Iron Barbs) or held Rocky Helmet, it cannot remove the target's held item. However, Knock Off will still remove the target's held item if the user faints due to its own held Life Orb. If Knock Off causes a Pokémon with the Sticky Hold Ability to faint, it can now remove its held item.

Knock Off can now remove a held Griseous Orb as long as the target is not Giratina. Knock Off cannot remove a Plate if the target is Arceus (Multitype has no effect on Knock Off), and cannot remove a Drive if the target is Genesect.

Furthermore, if the user of Knock Off is a Pokémon that would not be able to have a certain item removed from it and the target is holding said item, the item will not be removed; for instance, Giratina cannot use Knock Off to remove a Griseous Orb, nor Arceus a Plate.

Generation VI onwards

Knock Off's power has been increased from 20 to 65.

Knock Off cannot remove a Z-Crystal from any Pokémon, a Mega Stone or Orb if the target could use it to Mega Evolve or undergo Primal Reversion, a memory if the target is Silvally, a Rusted Sword from Zacian, a Rusted Shield from Zamazenta, or a Booster Energy from any Paradox Pokémon (excluding Koraidon and Miraidon), even if it hasn't consumed the item because its Ability triggered from the appropriate weather or terrain condition instead.

If Knock Off is used on a Pokémon that is holding an item that can be knocked off, its base power will be boosted by 50%. Knock Off cannot remove the held item of a target that has Sticky Hold or if it hits the target's substitute, but the bonus damage will apply anyway. If used on a Pokémon weak to Dark-type moves holding a Colbur Berry, the Colbur Berry will still be eaten, but Knock Off will get the damage boost regardless. If used on a Pokémon that cannot lose its held item — such as a Pokémon holding its corresponding Mega Stone — this move will not receive the boost. Additionally, the boost will also not be applied if the user of Knock Off targets a Pokémon holding an item that would not be able to be removed from it.

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, when used in a Max Raid Battle, Knock Off fails completely, without even dealing damage.

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, when used in a Tera Raid Battle, Knock Off deals damage, but does not knock off the target's item.
