When a Pokémon with Magician hits another Pokémon with a move, it will steal the held item of the Pokémon that it hit. {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} do not activate the Ability.
When a Pokémon with Magician hits another Pokémon with a damaging [[move]], it will steal the [[held item]] of the Pokémon that it hit. Magician will not activate if the user already has a held item.
 
{{m|Fling}}, {{m|Natural Gift}}, {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} do not activate the Ability; {{m|Present}} will activate the Ability only if it deals damage. {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Knock Off}}, {{m|Pluck}}, {{m|Bug Bite}}, and {{m|Incinerate}} will steal or destroy the target's held item before Magician steals it. [[Sticky Barb]] transfers with its own effect before Magician can steal it. Magician will not activate if the Pokémon is holding a [[Gem]] even if the Gem is consumed when using the move, but will activate if the Pokémon's held [[Power Herb]] is consumed when using the move.
 
If a target's consumable held item is triggered by the move (such as a [[Focus Sash]] or [[Lum Berry]]), it will be consumed before it can be stolen. If a target holds a [[Focus Band]] or [[Rocky Helmet]], it can be activated by the move, then be stolen by Magician.
 
If the Pokémon with Magician faints when using the move (such as due to the target's {{a|Liquid Ooze}} or held [[Rocky Helmet]], or due to the Pokémon with this Ability using a [[recoil]] move or a {{cat|Moves that cause the user to faint|move that causes it to faint}}), Magician will not steal the item. If the move of the Pokémon with Magician triggers {{a|Mummy}}, so that it no longer has the Ability Magician, it cannot steal an item.
 
Magician activates after the last strike of a [[multi-strike move]]. Magician activates even if the user is switched out by {{m|U-turn}} or {{m|Volt Switch}} or the target is switched out by {{m|Dragon Tail}} or {{m|Circle Throw}}. {{a|Pickpocket}} activates after Magician, so the Pokémon that has Pickpocket will always end up with the item if the move is a [[contact]] move. If {{p|Meloetta}} has the Ability Magician (due to {{m|Skill Swap}} etc.) and uses {{m|Relic Song}}, Magician activates before it changes form.
 
It cannot steal from a Pokémon with {{a|Sticky Hold}}, unless the move causes the Pokémon with Sticky Hold to faint. It cannot steal [[Mail]] or a [[Z-Crystal]]. It cannot steal a [[Griseous Orb]] if either Pokémon is {{p|Giratina}}, a [[Plate]] if either Pokémon is {{p|Arceus}}, a [[memory]] if either Pokémon is {{p|Silvally}}, a [[Drive]] if either Pokémon is {{p|Genesect}}, a [[Mega Stone]] if either Pokémon can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] using it, a [[Blue Orb]] if either Pokémon is {{p|Kyogre}}, or a [[Red Orb]] if either Pokémon is {{p|Groudon}}.
