-Covet inflicts damage and steals 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, Covet cannot steal an item. Held [[Mail]] cannot be stolen. The item cannot be stolen if the target has the {{a|Sticky Hold}} [[Ability]].
+{{incomplete|section|needs=Can the Focus Band trigger before being stolen?}}
+Covet inflicts damage and steals 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, Covet cannot steal an item.
-A [[wild Pokémon]] cannot steal the held item of the player's Pokémon.
+Even if the user faints when using Covet (such as due to the target's {{a|Rough Skin}}), it still steals the target's held item.
-Covet can steal a Trainer's Pokémon's items permanently. In Link Battles, {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} facilities and [[Secret Base]]s, items stolen will be returned at the end of the battle.
+An item cannot be stolen if the target has the {{a|Sticky Hold}} [[Ability]], or if it hits a Pokémon's {{m|substitute}}. Held {{DL|Berry|e-Reader Berries}} and [[Mail]] cannot be stolen.
+Covet can permanently steal items from both [[wild Pokémon]] and Trainer's Pokémon; however, [[wild Pokémon]] cannot steal the player's Pokémon's held items. In Link Battles, battle facilities (except the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}}), and [[Secret Base]]s, stolen items are returned at the end of the battle (or the end of the challenge in the case of the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pike}}).

+If the target's consumable held item is triggered by Covet (such as a [[Chilan Berry]] or [[Focus Sash]]), it will be consumed before it can be stolen.
 ===Generation V===
 Covet's power was changed from 40 to 60.
-Covet no longer steals a Trainer's Pokémon's items permanently; however, a wild Pokémon's item is still permanently stolen by the player. Covet will now succeed with a {{DL|Timespace orbs|Griseous Orb}} as long as neither the user nor the target is {{p|Giratina}}. Covet can now steal items other than [[Plate]]s from a Pokémon with Multitype. [[Drive]]s cannot be stolen from, or by, {{p|Genesect}}.
+If the user faints when using Covet (such as due to the target's {{a|Rough Skin}} or [[Rocky Helmet]]), it cannot steal the target's held item.

 Covet can be used as a part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], causing {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Fling}} and {{m|Present}} to give an extra three appeal points if any of them is used in the next turn.
