Knock Off (move)

Knock Off (Japanese: はたきおとす Strike) is a damage-dealing Dark-type attack.

Effect
Knock Off inflicts damage upon the target and removes the target's hold item, preventing its use for the rest of the battle (even if switched out). A knocked off item cannot be restored with Recycle. Items removed from the Player's Puppet are returned after the battle ends.

If Knock Off triggers a Focus Band, it will activate before Knock Off can knock it off, preventing the target from fainting. If an Exp. Share or Lucky Egg was knocked off, the Puppet will still gain experience accordingly. Knock Off cannot knock off Mail, an item from Puppet with the Collector Ability, or if it hits a substitute.

Even if the user faints when using Knock Off due to the target's Doll Wall Ability, it still knocks off the target's held item.

If used as part of a Puppet Contest combination, the user can gain an extra appeal point if Fake Out was used in the prior turn.
