Thief inflicts damage and has 99.6% chance to steal the target's [[held item]] if it has one, though only if the user does not have one. Thief cannot steal an item if it hits a Pokémon's {{m|substitute}}. Held [[Mail]] cannot be stolen.

[[Wild Pokémon]] can steal the player's Pokémon's held items.
