Pickpocket (オタカラ強奪, Otakara Gōdatsu)? is a Confidant ability in Persona 5
Overview[]
Persona 5 / Royal[]
See also: Confidant/Morgana |
Pickpocket is a Confidant ability which allows the protagonist to have a chance of receiving an item while striking an enemy Shadow with a melee attack, and the items will be received as soon as the successful theft is performed. The player will be notified of their yield at the battle results screen, like with regular drops. Pickpocket can only activate once per battle.
The items the protagonist can receive are parallel to what items the Shadow would give in Negotiation: the pool of items that can be received consist of 2 common items and 1 rare item, varying between each Shadow. In Persona 5 Royal, the negotiation pool might be smaller if it contains any sooty armor, but at minimum Shadows can give at least 1 item.
The protagonist can unlock this ability by ranking up Morgana's Confidant to Rank 5, after clearing Kaneshiro's Palace. Morgana will always give the protagonist Morgana's Scarf at the end of the game, which, in New Game Plus, will unlock Pickpocket as soon as he has initiated Morgana's Confidant on April 15th.
