Covet Move Detail
Covet is a Normal-type move with 60 power and 100% accuracy. When used, this move not only deals damage but also has the added effect of stealing the target's held item, provided the user is not already holding an item and the target is holding an item that can be stolen. Covet is particularly useful in battles where item manipulation can give a strategic advantage, and it can also be employed in wild Pokémon encounters to obtain rare items. Introduced in Generation III, Covet has become a valuable move for trainers looking to gain an edge through item theft.
