Thief Effect

Thief In-Game.jpg

Has the user dash in the designated direction, dealing damage to any opposing Pokemon it hits and decreasing their movement speed for a short time. If this move hits Pokemon from the opposing team, it steals a small amount of their Aeos energy. If those Pokemon do not have any Aeos energy, they will be left unable to act for a short time.

How to Use Thief

Steal Aeos Energy

Use Theif to steal some Aeos Energy from opponents. Try to score points each time you manage to steal Aeos Energy, giving your team some points advantage in the early game.

Target Stackers

Use Theif on opponents that you suspect are stacking items. Even if you won't steal all of their Aeos Energy, you can at least minimize the points they'll score.

Stun Enemies

You can turn Theif into a disable if you hit enemies that don't have Aeos Energy. Simply look at the Aeos Energy indicator beside the Pokemon's HP bar to see if they're carrying any.

Traverse Walls

You can pass through walls or objects using Theif. Its long range should make it easy for you to successfully pass through without having to get close first.
