Whenever a move makes contact with this Pokémon, if it does not have a held item, it steals the attacker's held item.

This Pokémon cannot steal upon being knocked out.  It can steal if the attacker has a substitute, but cannot steal when its own Substitute is hit.  If a move hits multiple times, only the last hit triggers this ability.  If this Pokémon is wild, it cannot steal from a trained Pokémon.

The Pokémon steals the held item from attackers that made direct contact with it.

This Pokémon inflicts triple damage with critical hits, rather than the usual double damage.

If the Pokémon's attack lands a critical hit, the attack is powered up even further.
