It's only trivia, and the page makes it obvious, but the current wording of the trivia suggests that Minccino learning thief is the error, not Cinccino being unable to learn it. I'm working on a better phrasing, but the sentence is kind of annoying to word (probably hence its current form).[[User:TheHateHat|TheHateHat]] ([[User talk:TheHateHat|talk]]) 04:08, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

:Changed the phrasing. Preserved the original if you don't like it: * Due to an error, {{p|Minccino}} is able to learn Thief via [[TM]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}, while its evolution {{p|Cinccino}} is not. This issue was later fixed in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

== Apparently, Klefki gets Thief as an Egg Move. ==
 
Can anyone double check this? [[User:Trainer Yusuf|Trainer Yusuf]] ([[User talk:Trainer Yusuf|talk]]) 14:23, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
:Checked. This is the case. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 14:38, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 
== Regarding the Griseous Orb and Giratina ==
 
Does the point have to be made that the user using Thief or Covet cannot be Giratina? Giratina cannot even learn either of these moves.

== Thief/Covet are "Non-damaging" moves?  ==
 
So it turns out that, for the purposes of Me First, some quirk in coding makes Thief and Covet not register as damaging moves--try to use Me First on someone using thief, and it will fail. (Tested and found correct in gen 5). Anyone know what gives, and/or if there are any other moves with this problem?

== Pokemon Colosseum: Shadow Pokemon with Hold Items ==
 
I have tried to use thief on other trainers' Shadow Pokemon before.  Once you catch them, they have hold items like Qwilfish's poison barb and Meditite's Twistedspoon.  However, when using thief on them, their item is not taken.  Do they only acquire these items after you catch them?  Or are they just not thievable?  Or is it a greater part of a gen 3-less than 100% thief rate?
