  • Catch it, do not steal itIn this game Thief and Covet only keep the item until the battle ends; your Pokémon does not leave with it. A caught Pokémon keeps its item, so throw a ball and take the item from it in your party.
  • Check first with FriskA Frisk Pokémon names the foe's item when it comes in, so you only spend balls on the ones holding it. Put the Compound Eyes Pokémon first, fainted, and send Frisk in to battle.
