Trick (Japanese: トリック Trick) is a non-damaging move introduced in Generation III. It was TR38 in , and is TM109 in Generation IX.
==Effect==

Trick fails if:
* Neither Pokémon has a held item.
* The user is a wild Pokémon.
* The target is behind a .
* The target has (even if it has no held item).
* It is used in the Trainer Tower or Trainer Hill.
* Either Pokémon is holding:
** an e-Reader Berry
** Mail (except in the Japanese version of )
** any Z-Crystal
** a Drive, if either Pokémon is 
** a Mega Stone, if either Pokémon could use it to Mega Evolve
** a colored orb, if either Pokémon could use it to undergo Primal Reversion
** a Memory, if either Pokémon is 
** a Rusted Sword, if either Pokémon is 
** a Rusted Shield, if either Pokémon is 
** a Booster Energy, if either Pokémon is a Paradox Pokémon (excluding and )
** a Wellspring Mask, Hearthflame Mask, or Cornerstone Mask, if either Pokémon is 
Additionally, in some generations Trick can fail under additional circumstances.
In Link Battles, battle facilities, Secret Bases, and the Trainer House, items stolen will be returned at the end of the battle.
===Generations III and IV===
In Japanese , Trick can exchange Mail, but doing so may cause . In international releases of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, as well as all releases of subsequent games, Trick will fail if either Pokémon is holding Mail.
In these generations, Trick fails if either Pokémon has or either Pokémon is holding a Griseous Orb.
===Generation V onwards===
Trick no longer switches a Trainer's Pokémon's items permanently; however, items switched in wild battles are permanently switched.
Trick can now exchange the Griseous Orb, but still fails if either Pokémon holds the Griseous Orb and either Pokémon is . Trick can now exchange items with a Pokémon that has , but still fails if either Pokémon holds a Plate and either Pokémon is .
If powered up by a Psychium Z into Z-Trick, the user's is boosted by two stages, then the move itself fails after obtaining the Z-Power since it is not possible to exchange a Z-Crystal.
Trick will always fail when used in a Max Raid Battle or a Tera Raid Battle, regardless of the items or target. (It works as normal against Dynamax Pokémon in other battles.)
In , due to a presumed glitch in accounting for the removal of colored orbs, Trick would fail in versions 1.2.0 through 1.3.1 if it was used by or against or and either the user or the target was not holding an item. This behavior was corrected in version 1.3.2.

In Pokémon UNITE, Trick is 's first move. It is obtained by reaching level 4 and upgrading into it instead of . The user creates a link between itself and an ally Pokémon using a ring, increasing both of their movement speeds and granting them each a shield for a short time. When the user uses Shadow Ball or performs a basic attack, the ring on the linked Pokémon also unleashes the same move or attack. The user can also use this move on itself, increasing user’s movement speed and granting itself a shield for a short time. Additionally, it increases the damage dealt by Shadow Ball. At level 10, this move also restores the linked ally Pokémon’s HP when it deals damage to opposing Pokémon. While in Unbound form, this move is replaced by .
