The user and opponent switch held items until the end of the battle. If user is not holding an item, then the effect is similar to using <a href="http://pldh.net/dex/move/thief" class="linksred">Thief</a>/<a href="http://pldh.net/dex/move/covet" class="linksred">Covet</a>. If the user has an item and the opponent does not, then user will hold no item while the opponent gets the item user was holding. This effect will fail against Pok&eacute;mon with the abilities <a href="http://pldh.net/dex/ability/multitype" class="linksred">Multitype</a> and <a href="http://pldh.net/dex/ability/stickyhold" class="linksred">Sticky Hold</a>.
