Poltergeist deals damage if the target is holding an item, after displaying the message "[target] is about to be attacked by its [item]!" If used when the target is not holding an item, {{m|Magic Room}} is active, or the target's [[Ability]] is {{a|Klutz}}, the move fails.

If used on a Pokémon weak to Ghost-type moves holding a [[Kasib Berry]], [[Red Card]], or a [[Weakness Policy]], Poltergeist will still do damage after the item has been consumed, but the item in question still takes effect.
