Effect

The user switches held items with the target. If only one of them is holding an item, the item is moved to the other.

Trick fails if:

• Neither Pokémon has a held item.
• The user is a wild Pokémon.
• The target is behind a substitute.
• The target has Sticky Hold (even if it has no held item).
• It is used in the Trainer Tower or Trainer Hill.
• Either Pokémon is holding:
  • an e-Reader Berry
  • Mail (except in the Japanese version of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire)
  • any Z-Crystal
  • a Drive, if either Pokémon is Genesect
  • a Mega Stone, if either Pokémon could use it to Mega Evolve
  • a colored orb, if either Pokémon could use it to undergo Primal Reversion
  • a Memory, if either Pokémon is Silvally
  • a Rusted Sword, if either Pokémon is Zacian
  • a Rusted Shield, if either Pokémon is Zamazenta
  • a Booster Energy, if either Pokémon is a Paradox Pokémon (excluding Koraidon, Miraidon, Gouging Fire, Raging Bolt, Iron Boulder and Iron Crown)
  • a Wellspring Mask, Hearthflame Mask, or Cornerstone Mask, if either Pokémon is Ogerpon

Additionally, in some generations Trick can fail under additional circumstances.

In Link Battles, battle facilities, Secret Bases, and the Trainer House, items stolen will be returned at the end of the battle.

Generations III and IV

In Japanese Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Trick can exchange Mail, but doing so may cause Mail corruption. In international releases of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, as well as all releases of subsequent games, Trick will fail if either Pokémon is holding Mail.

In these generations, Trick fails if either Pokémon has Multitype or either Pokémon is holding a Griseous Orb.

Generation V onwards

Trick no longer switches a Trainer's Pokémon's items permanently; however, items switched in wild battles are permanently switched.

Trick can now exchange the Griseous Orb, but still fails if either Pokémon holds the Griseous Orb and either Pokémon is Giratina. Trick can now exchange items with a Pokémon that has Multitype, but still fails if either Pokémon holds a Plate and either Pokémon is Arceus.

If powered up by a Psychium Z into Z-Trick, the user's Speed is boosted by two stages, then the move itself fails after obtaining the Z-Power since it is not possible to exchange a Z-Crystal.

Trick will always fail when used in a Max Raid Battle or a Tera Raid Battle, regardless of the items or target. (It works as normal against Dynamax Pokémon in other battles.)

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, due to a presumed glitch in accounting for the removal of colored orbs, Trick would fail in versions 1.2.0 through 1.3.1 if it was used by or against Groudon or Kyogre and either the user or the target was not holding an item. This behavior was corrected in version 1.3.2.

When Hoopa uses Shadow Ball or performs a basic attack, the ring on the linked Pokémon also unleashes the same move or attack. Hoopa can also use this move on itself, increasing Hoopa’s movement speed and granting itself a shield for a while. Additionally, it increases the damage dealt by Shadow Ball. Upgraded to Trick+ when the Pokémon reaches Lv. 10. Upgrade: Also restores the linked ally Pokémon’s HP when it deals damage to opposing Pokémon.

Trivia

• In Generation IV, despite being able to learn this move via Move Tutor, it will always fail when used by Arceus due to its Ability Multitype. In later generations, it can successfully use the move as long as neither Pokémon is holding a Plate.
