==Effect==
Spectral Thief does damage, stealing the target's [[Statistic|stat]] boosts (if any) right before. Spectral Thief bypasses {{m|substitute}}s.
Spectral Thief causes the user to steal the target's [[Statistic|stat]] boosts and then do damage. It also ignores {{m|substitute}}s.


Spectral Thief will only steal enough boosts to reach +6 stages in each stat; if the sum of the user's existing stat boosts and the target's stat boosts exceeds +6 in a stat, the target will retain any excess boosts. If the user has the Ability {{a|Simple}}, then the stolen stat boosts will be doubled; if the user has the Ability {{a|Contrary}}, then the stat boosts will be inverted.

Spectral Thief will not steal stat boosts if the target is immune to it or if it misses because the target has increased {{stat|evasion}} or is in the {{cat|moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn of a move}}.
