How to steal items early on in the game?


Gen

Recommended Posts

I'm currently having access to Thief and trying to progress through Ametrine City and I've been reading around about how to steal trainer items and actually keep them. 

People been saying that having a Snorlax with Covet, Fling and Recycle would be the best choice but you can't get Fling until very late into the game right?

I'm looking at other pokemon choices like Klefki that can learn thief, switcheroo and recycle but it's not available in my part of the story as well. 

Is it possible to have a pokemon to have access to these moves at this part of the game?

Munchlax/Snorlax appear to be the only pokemon that learn both Fling and Recycle naturally, so I think waiting for either them or the Fling TM are the only options, since Recycle doesn't work with item swap moves like trick/switcharoo I believe, so Fling is mandatory.
(also this is considered a bug/exploit rather than an intended mechanic anyway, so 🤷‍♀️)

  

Actually scratch that, because Reborn uses generation 7 movesets, pansage/pansear/panpour work as long as you have the thief TM

Ah yes the elemental monkeys as I am seeing do have innate access to Fling and Recycle by leveling! 

Though I really want to get make my Snorlax my item stealer but I do not have access to Covet right now because I can't get back to reborn city yet
