Trick (Japanese: トリック Trick) is a non-damaging Psychic-type move introduced in Generation III. It was TR38 in Pokémon Sword and Shield, and is TM109 in Generation IX.

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:

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.

Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Trick is Hoopa's first move. It is obtained by reaching level 4 and upgrading Confusion into it instead of Hyperspace Hole. The user creates a link between itself and an ally Pokémon using a ring, increasing both of their movement speeds and granting them each a shield for a short time. When the user uses Shadow Ball or performs a basic attack, the ring on the linked Pokémon also unleashes the same move or attack. The user can also use this move on itself, increasing user’s movement speed and granting itself a shield for a short time. Additionally, it increases the damage dealt by Shadow Ball. At level 10, this move also restores the linked ally Pokémon’s HP when it deals damage to opposing Pokémon. While in Unbound form, this move is replaced by Psybeam.

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.
