 ==Effect==
 ===Generations III and IV===
-Knock Off inflicts damage and removes the target's held item. If Knock Off triggers an item (such as a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}}, or [[Colbur Berry]]) after the attack, that item activates before Knock Off can remove it (in the case of the Focus Band which is not consumed, it will be removed after its effect has activated). Once the item has been removed, it cannot be used for the rest of the battle and switching either Pokémon out will not cause the target to regain its item. Knock Off cannot remove an item from Pokémon with the {{a|Sticky Hold}} Ability, or from Pokémon behind a {{m|substitute}}. It also cannot remove a {{DL|Timespace orbs|Griseous Orb}} from {{p|Giratina}} or any item from {{p|Arceus}}.
+Knock Off inflicts damage and renders the target's held item for the rest of the battle (even if switched out). The Pokémon is still listed as holding the item on the status screen and cannot obtain another item, nor can it restore the knocked off item with {{m|Recycle}}.
-After the battle, the target will regain the knocked-off item. If an [[Exp. Share]] or [[Lucky Egg]] was knocked off, the target will still gain experience accordingly.

+If an [[Exp. Share]] or [[Lucky Egg]] was knocked off, the Pokémon will still gain experience accordingly.
+Even if the user faints when using Knock Off (such as due to the target's {{a|Rough Skin}} or user's [[Life Orb]]), it still knocks off the target's held item.
+Knock Off cannot knock off an item from Pokémon with the {{a|Sticky Hold}} Ability, or if it hits a Pokémon's {{m|substitute}}. It also cannot knock off a [[Griseous Orb]] from {{p|Giratina}} or any item from {{p|Arceus}}.
 Knock Off can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining an extra appeal point if {{m|Fake Out}} was used in the prior turn.
 ===Generation V===
+Knock Off now removes the held item rather than rendering it unusable, so the Pokémon can obtain another item if its held item is removed by Knock Off. {{m|Recycle}} still cannot recover an item removed by Knock Off.
+If the user faints due to the target's Ability ({{a|Rough Skin}} or {{a|Iron Barbs}}) or held [[Rocky Helmet]], it cannot remove the target's held item. However, Knock Off will still remove the target's held item if the user faints due to its own held [[Life Orb]].
 Knock Off can now remove any item from Arceus except a [[Plate]]. Knock Off cannot remove a [[Drive]] from {{p|Genesect}}.

 Knock Off's [[power]] has been increased from 20 to 65.
-If Knock Off is used on a Pokémon that is holding an item that can be knocked off, it will deal 50% more damage. A target with {{a|Sticky Hold}} will still be protected from losing its item, but the bonus damage will apply anyway. If used on a Pokémon that cannot lose its item—such as a Pokémon holding a [[Z-Crystal]], a [[Mega Stone]] or an [[colored orb|Orb]] that enables it to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] or undergo [[Primal Reversion]], {{p|Giratina}} holding a {{DL|Timespace orbs|Griseous Orb}}, {{p|Arceus}} holding a [[Plate]], {{p|Silvally}} holding a [[Memory]], or {{p|Genesect}} holding a [[Drive]]—this move will not receive the boost.
