'''Pickpocket''' (Japanese: '''わるいてぐせ''' ''Bad Habit'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

===In battle===
Whenever an opponent makes contact with the user of Bad Habit, 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}}.
{{AbilityResearch|Does Pickpocket work in a [[Max Raid Battle]] of if it is used by a wild Pokémon? What happens with Ogerpon's masks?}}
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. If multiple Pokémon with this Ability are hit by the same move that made contact, Pickpocket will activate for the fastest one that does not already have an item.
 
Pickpocket activates after {{a|Magician}} and the [[Sticky Barb]], and after {{m|Thief}} and {{m|Covet}} steal a held item. It also activates after the user consumes a single-use item due to the attack that hit it, such as a [[Focus Sash]]. 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, and if it does lose its item due to these moves it can immediately steal another.
 
The [[Life Orb]] and [[Shell Bell]] will activate before being stolen. The [[King's Rock]] and [[Razor Fang]] can still make the Pokémon with Pickpocket flinch even if stolen.
 
[[Wild Pokémon]] cannot steal the player's Pokémon's held items. Pickpocket cannot steal from a Pokémon with {{a|Sticky Hold}}. It cannot steal [[Mail]] or a [[Z-Crystal]]. It cannot steal a [[Griseous Orb]] if either Pokémon is {{p|Giratina}}, a [[Plate]] if either Pokémon is {{p|Arceus}}, a [[memory]] if either Pokémon is {{p|Silvally}}, a [[Drive]] if either Pokémon is {{p|Genesect}}, a [[Mega Stone]] if either Pokémon can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] using it, a [[Blue Orb]] if either Pokémon is {{p|Kyogre}}, a [[Red Orb]] if either Pokémon is {{p|Groudon}}, the [[Rusted Sword]] if either Pokémon is {{p|Zacian}}, the [[Rusted Shield]] if either Pokémon is {{p|Zamazenta}}, or [[Booster Energy]] if either Pokémon has the Ability {{a|Protosynthesis}} or {{a|Quark Drive}}.
