Switcheroo (Japanese: すりかえ Secret Switch) is a non-damaging Dark-type move introduced in Generation IV.
Effect
Generation IV
The user switches held items with the target. If only one of them is holding an item, the item is moved to the other.
Switcheroo fails if neither Pokémon has a held item, the user is a wild Pokémon, if either Pokémon is holding Griseous Orb or Mail, if the target is behind a substitute, or if the target has Sticky Hold (even if it has no held item). It also fails if either Pokémon has Multitype.
In link battles, battle facilities, Secret Bases, and the Trainer House, items stolen will be returned at the end of the battle.
Generation V onwards
Switcheroo no longer switches a Trainer's Pokémon's items permanently; however, items switched in wild battles are permanently switched.
Switcheroo fails if either the user or target holds:
- Any type of Mail
- Any Z-Crystal
- A Griseous Orb, if either Pokémon is Giratina
- A Plate, if either Pokémon is Arceus
- 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
Switcheroo can now exchange a Griseous Orb as long as neither the user nor the target is Giratina. Switcheroo can now exchange items with a Pokémon that has Multitype (but still cannot exchange Plates with Arceus).
Generation VII
If powered up by a Darkinium Z into Z-Switcheroo, the user's Speed is raised two stages, then the move itself will fail after obtaining the Z-Power since it won't be possible to exchange its own Z-Crystal.
Generation VIII
Switcheroo will always fail when used against the raid boss in a Max Raid Battle, regardless of item. It can be used successfully against Dynamax Pokémon in standard trainer battles, subject to the above list of exceptions.
