Fixed [Indev 0.51.1] Item Duplication Through Covet

[Shiketh]

I was hunting for an everstone from a geodude. I attacked one that held one with covet and successfully stole the item. However I decided to capture the geodude and when I went into my box the geodude still held the everstone, so I received two.

What I expected to happen:
For geodude to hold nothing when I went into my inbox.

What actually happened:
Received two everstones from the same geodude.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use skill "covet" on any pokemon that holds an item
2. Capture the pokemon after it is successful.
3. go into your box and receive a second item

Well... There are already some people knowing this bug for a long time ago trying to hide it. Nifty trick. I only know this bug about few days ago.

Would this work the other way around? So if you had a pokemon holding an item, and a wild pokemon used covet on it?

It will also duplicate it.

does the move still work as intended or is it a waste of space? I have a teddiursa with thief and covet specifically for leppa berries and pickup so if I can use that slot for a better move like say surf, Id like to know.

It is not useless but rather overpowered by bugs.
