Thief (Japanese: どろぼう Thief) is a damage-dealing Dark-type move introduced in Generation II. It has been TM46 since Generation II.
Effect
This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: Specific chance of stealing the target's held item in Gen II and III You can discuss this on the talk page. |
Generation II and III
Thief inflicts damage and has a high chance of stealing the target's held item if it is holding any. If the target is not holding an item or the user is already holding an item, Thief cannot steal an item. Held Mail cannot be stolen. The item cannot be stolen if the target has the Sticky Hold Ability.
A wild Pokémon cannot steal the held item of the player's Pokémon.
Thief can steal a Trainer's Pokémon's items permanently. In Link Battles, the Trainer House, Battle Frontier facilities and Secret Bases, items stolen will be returned at the end of the battle.
In Pokémon Colosseum and XD, Thief does not steal items.
Generation IV
Thief will now always steal items if possible.
If a Trainer's Pokémon steals an item from the player, it will be returned at the end of the battle.
Plates cannot be stolen from Pokémon with the Ability Multitype, and the Griseous Orb cannot be stolen.
If the target's consumable held item is triggered by Thief, such as a Colbur Berry or Focus Sash, it will not be stolen.
Generation V
Thief no longer steals a Trainer's Pokémon's items permanently; however, a wild Pokémon's item is still permanently stolen by the player. Thief will now succeed with a Griseous Orb as long as neither the user nor the target is Giratina.
Generation VI
Thief's power was changed from 40 to 60 and its PP was changed from 10 to 25.
Mega Stones that can Mega Evolve the user or target cannot be stolen via Thief.
