Where to get TM46 Thief in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
There’s only one TM46 in the whole game, so pick which Pokemon to teach it carefully.
The TM is at Eterna City, and you’ll first need to defeat Eterna’s Gym Leader Gardenia. Once you’ve defeated her, you can then start using the HM Cut outside of battle. In the city’s north, there lies Team Galactic’s Eterna Building.
Use Cut to tear down the trees in front of the building. Then on the right-hand side, there’s a hidden area behind some trees. Walk behind the trees and there’s another tree branch that you can Cut down. After tearing it down, continue walking down the path until you reach the TM46 Thief.
What is Thief
Thief is a dark-type move that allows a Pokemon to attack and steal the held item that its target Pokemon is holding. The Pokemon will not be able to hold onto the stolen item if it already has an item on it, so make sure the Pokemon using Thief isn’t already holding onto something.
Since it’s a dark-type move, it’s best if you teach the move a dark-type Pokemon to get the stab bonus. The move is really useful when trying to gain items that are easier to find on wild Pokemon, like Metal Coat.
