'''Spectral Thief''' (Japanese: '''シャドースチール''' ''Shadow Steal'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Ghost}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VII]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Marshadow}}. It can be upgraded to the special [[Z-Move]] {{m|Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike}} by Marshadow holding {{DL|Z-Crystal|Marshadium Z}}.

It can be upgraded to the special [[Z-Move]] {{m|Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike}} by Marshadow holding [[Marshadium Z]].


==Effect==
==Effect==
Spectral Thief causes the user to steal the target's [[Statistic|stat]] boosts and then do damage. It also ignores {{m|substitute}}s.
Spectral Thief deals damage. If successful, it also steals the target's positive [[Statistic|stat]] stages (if any) immediately before dealing damage. Spectral Thief bypasses {{OBP|substitute|doll}}s, and can successfully steal stat boosts from the boss of a [[Max Raid Battle]] even if it currently has a shield up. If the target has an Ability such as {{a|Clear Body}}, {{a|White Smoke}}, or {{a|Hyper Cutter}} that normally prevents some or all of its stats from being lowered, Spectral Thief can still steal boosts in those stats.
 
Spectral Thief will steal all positive stat stages; even if the sum of the user's existing stat stages and the target's stat stages exceeds +6 in a stat, as long as the target's stat stages are positive, they will be reduced to 0. If the user has the Ability {{a|Simple}}, then the stolen stat stages will be doubled; if the user has the Ability {{a|Contrary}}, then the stat boosts will become stat drops when stolen.
 
===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
Spectral Thief cannot be selected in a battle.


Spectral Thief will only steal enough boosts to reach +6 stages in each stat; if the sum of the user's existing stat boosts and the target's stat boosts exceeds +6 in a stat, the target will retain any excess boosts. If the user has the Ability {{a|Simple}}, then the stolen stat boosts will be doubled; if the user has the Ability {{a|Contrary}}, then the stat boosts will be inverted.
===Generation IX===
Spectral Thief cannot be selected in a battle.
Spectral Thief will not steal stat boosts if the target is immune to it or if it misses because the target has increased {{stat|evasion}} or is in the {{cat|moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn of a move}}.
