'''Thief''' (Japanese: '''どろぼう''' ''Thief'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Dark}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It has been [[TM46]] since [[Generation II]].

Thief 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, Thief only inflicts damage and will not be able to steal an item. Held [[mail]] cannot be stolen.  

The player's Pokémon's held item would not be stolen if Thief is used by a wild Pokémon.  

Thief can steal a non-player character's Pokémon's items permanently. In link battles and the [[Trainer House]] items stolen will be returned at the end of the battle.

Same as Generation II. In addition, the item cannot be stolen if the target has the {{a|Sticky Hold}} [[Ability]]. Like in link battles, items stolen in [[Secret Base]]s will be returned at the end of the battle.

In Pokémon Colosseum and XD, Thief does not steal items.

Same as Generation III. Additionally, all stolen held items will be returned to the player if the opponent manages to steal an item by using Thief or {{m|Covet}}.

Items cannot be stolen from Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Multitype}}, and the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}} cannot be stolen. If the target's consumable held item is triggered by Thief, such as a [[Colbur Berry]] or [[Focus Sash]], it will not be stolen.

Thief no longer steals a Trainer's Pokémon's items permanently; however, a wild Pokémon's item is still permanently stolen by the player. Thief will now succeed with a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}} as long as neither the user nor the target is {{p|Giratina}}.

Thief's power changed from 40 to 60 and its PP changed from 10 to 25.
