Randoms2 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Does anyone know if any NPCs in the game use held items for their pokemon? I just learned that thief / magician lets you steal items permanently from NPCs so naturally I wondered if this strategy holds any merit, but I cant seem to remember if I encountered any obvious held items on NPCs.

Zetaark Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Unfortunately, while you can steal an item for the duration of the battle, unless it's a wild pokemon, you will not keep the item. I've tried it before to try and get items, but while it stays in battle, once it ends you don't keep the item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fumble Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Also, another thing is that the bug where you can steal a partner's item (*cough* Aya's items *cough*) is being fixed. Unless it already has been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randoms2 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Well I can't say I'm too surprised to learn that thief was changed so you can't permanently steal items, one less way to cheese the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fumble Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 ...Hasn't that been there since gen 5? http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Thief_%28move%29#Generation_V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane0144 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Yeah, not stealing trainer items is a fix not a restriction. It would be easier just not give aya items if they were just looking to nerf the player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamLady Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I tried it once before, but it didn't work. I tried to steal Fern's leftovers. At the end of the battle, he got it back. I really wanted those leftovers...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
