Whenever an opponent makes contact with the user of Pickpocket, it steals the opponent's held item. It will fail if the user is holding an item or if either Pokémon is behind a {{m|Substitute}}. [[Plate]]s held by Pokémon with the [[Multitype (Ability)|Multitype]] ability, [[Mega Stone]]s held by their associated Pokémon, [[Drive]]s held by {{p|Genesect}} and {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}}s held by {{p|Giratina}} cannot be stolen via Pickpocket.
When a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a move that makes [[contact]], the Pokémon with this Ability will steal the held item of the attacking Pokémon. It will not activate if the Pokémon with this Ability already has a held item. It will not activate if the Pokémon with this Ability is knocked out by that move.
 
If a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a [[multi-strike move]] that makes contact (such as {{m|Fury Swipes}}), the item will not be stolen until after the final strike.
 
Pickpocket activates after {{a|Magician}} and the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Sticky Barb}}, and after {{m|Thief}} and {{m|Covet}} steal a held item. Consequently, the Pokémon that has Pickpocket will always end up with the item. Pickpocket also activates after {{m|Knock Off}}, {{m|Bug Bite}}, and {{m|Pluck}}, meaning that the stolen item will not be lost.
 
The {{DL|In-battle effect item|Life Orb}} and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Shell Bell}} will activate before being stolen. The {{DL|In-battle effect item|King's Rock}} and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Razor Fang}} can still make the Pokémon with Pickpocket flinch even if stolen.
 
It cannot steal from a Pokémon with {{a|Sticky Hold}}. It cannot steal [[Mail]] or a [[Z-Crystal]]. It cannot steal a [[Plate]] from a Pokémon with {{a|Multitype}}, a [[Memory]] from a Pokémon with {{a|RKS System}}, a {{DL|Timespace orbs|Griseous Orb}} if either Pokémon is {{p|Giratina}}, a [[Drive]] if either Pokémon is {{p|Genesect}}, a {{DL|Colored orbs|Red Orb}} if either Pokémon is {{p|Groudon}}, a {{DL|Colored orbs|Blue Orb}} if either Pokémon is {{p|Kyogre}}, or a [[Mega Stone]] that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] either Pokémon.
