Snatch is a non-damaging Dark-type move.

Effect

Snatch is an increased priority move. The effects of the first status move used by any other Pokémon on the same turn will be applied to the user of Snatch instead of the other Pokémon.

If two Pokémon use Snatch, the faster of the two will Snatch the first status move, while the slower one will Snatch the move from the faster user of Snatch. This means that only the slower user of Snatch will be able to receive the effects of the status move.

The moves that can be affected by Snatch include stat boosters such as Swords Dance and Calm Mind as well as others like Substitute and Synthesis. In a double battle, Snatch will steal an ally's move if it is applicable. Snatch cannot steal the effects of Helping Hand.

Description

Description The user steals the effects of any healing or stat-changing move the opponent attempts to use.
