Effect: Thief is a Dark-type move with a base power of 60 and 100% accuracy.

It has consistently taught the move Thief, although the TM’s numbering has varied in some generations. 2. Utility: Beyond its battle utility, Thief is useful in the main storyline for acquiring rare items held by wild Pokémon. For example, players can use Thief to obtain items like Lucky Eggs,
