Effect

Knock Off inflicts damage and knocks off the target's held item if it has one.

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. Knock Off can knock off Mail (unlike other item-manipulating effects, which often cannot affect Mail).

Generations III and IV

If the Pokémon's item is knocked off, that Pokémon's held item becomes unusable for the rest of the battle (even if switched out), but still remains visible on the status screen. If a Pokémon has a knocked off item, it cannot gain or lose an item: Trick and Switcheroo always fail if either Pokémon has a knocked off item, Thief and Covet cannot steal an item from a knocked off Pokémon, and Recycle always fails when used by the Pokémon.

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).

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 an item from Pokémon with the Sticky Hold Ability or if it hits a Pokémon's substitute. Knock Off 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; this means that the Pokémon can obtain another item if its held item is removed by Knock Off. However, 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 that Pokémon's held item.

Knock Off can now remove a held Griseous Orb from any Pokémon other than 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. If those Pokémon use Knock Off on a target holding this item (whenever or not the target benefits from holding the item), the item will not be removed.

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, any of the Hearthflame, Wellspring, or Cornerstone Masks from Ogerpon, 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 on an ally in a Tera Raid Battle, Knock Off deals damage, but does not knock off the target's item. However, if used on a raid boss that is holding an item, the held item will be knocked off as normal.

Knock Off

Pokémon	Move Icon	Image	Level Learned	Cooldown	Description
Sableye			4	8.5s	Has the user move in the designated direction and then back again while attacking around itself, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon hit by the attacks and leaving them unable to act for a short time. For a short time afterward, this move can be used again. If it is, the user attacks in front of itself with its claws, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits and shoving them. When either the first or second stage of this move hits opposing Pokémon, those Pokémon will drop some of their collected Aeos energy, and for a short time, they'll be unable to pick up Aeos energy. When either stage of this move hits opposing Pokémon that do not have Aeos energy, those Pokémon will be left unable to act―and for a longer duration. While using this move, the user receives reduced damage. Upgraded to Knock Off+ when the Pokémon reaches Lv. 10. Upgrade: For a short time after this move is used, the next time the user picks up Aeos energy, the user recovers HP and has its movement speed increased.
