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}}). In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{XD}}, Covet does not permanently steal items.
