Switcheroo fails if neither Pokémon has a held item, the user is a [[wild Pokémon]], if either Pokémon is holding [[Griseous Orb]] or [[Mail]], if the target is behind a {{m|substitute}}, or if the target has {{a|Sticky Hold}} (even if it has no held item). It also fails if either Pokémon has {{a|Multitype}}.

If powered up by a [[Darkinium Z]] into Z-Switcheroo, the user's {{stat|Speed}} is raised two stages, then the move itself will fail after obtaining the Z-Power since it won't be possible to exchange its own Z-Crystal.

Switcheroo will always fail when used in a [[Max Raid Battle]], regardless of the items or target. (It works as normal against [[Dynamax]] Pokémon in other battles.)

Switcheroo (Japanese: すりかえ Secret Switch) is a non-damaging Dark-type move introduced in Generation IV.

Effect

151Mew.png This move effect may be in need of research.
Reason: What happens with Ogerpon's masks?
You can discuss this on the talk page.

The user switches held items with the target. If only one of them is holding an item, the item is moved to the other.

Switcheroo fails if:

In Link Battles, battle facilities, Secret Bases, and the Trainer House, items stolen will be returned at the end of the battle.

Generation IV

In these generations, Switcheroo fails if either Pokémon has Multitype or either Pokémon is holding a Griseous Orb.

Generation V onwards

151Mew.png This move effect may be in need of research.
Reason: What happens with Ogerpon's masks?
You can discuss this on the talk page.

Switcheroo no longer switches a Trainer's Pokémon's items permanently; however, items switched in wild battles are permanently switched.

Switcheroo can now exchange a Griseous Orb, but still fails if either Pokémon holds a Griseous Orb and either Pokémon is Giratina. Switcheroo can now exchange items with a Pokémon that has Multitype, but still fails if either Pokémon holds a Plate and either Pokémon is Arceus.

If powered up by a Darkinium Z into Z-Switcheroo, the user's Speed is raised two stages, then the move itself fails after obtaining the Z-Power since it is not possible to exchange a Z-Crystal.

Switcheroo will always fail when used in a Max Raid Battle, regardless of the items or target. (It works as normal against Dynamax Pokémon in other battles.)

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, due to a presumed glitch in accounting for the removal of colored orbs, Switcheroo would fail in versions 1.2.0 through 1.3.1 if it was used by or against Groudon or Kyogre and either the user or the target was not holding an item. This behavior was corrected in version 1.3.2.
