When Pocket is activated, the user is given a few frames of [[intangibility]], and will reach out a short distance forward in an attempt to grab any [[item]] or [[projectile]] within range, which is then put into storage. Items can be pocketed even in circumstances where they cannot be picked up normally, such as after a [[Bumper]] or [[Spiny Shell]] has been activated. Using the move again will retrieve the stored object. While projectiles are generally pocketable if they are [[reflect]]able, they must also be detached from their user and have their own graphical model (as opposed to being a collection of particle effects), so some projectiles may not be pocketable even though they look like they should be (such as [[Din's Fire]]). | When Pocket is activated, the user is given a few frames of [[intangibility]], and will reach out a short distance forward in an attempt to grab any [[item]] or [[projectile]] within range, which is then put into storage.

Retrieved projectiles are | Retrieved projectiles are thrown with a 1.9× damage multiplier added to them; in addition, they will follow the trajectory they were traveling at prior to being pocketed, such as Pikachu's {{b|Thunder|Pokémon}} traveling straight down and Yoshi's [[Egg Throw]] following a parabolic arc. Because pocketed projectiles are nearly twice their original strength, they can easily secure KOs at mid percentages, and even instantly shatter full [[shield]]s. However, as of version [[1.1.3]] of ''SSB4'', and in ''Ultimate'', pocketing and throwing a teammate's projectile applies another damage multiplier of 0.25× (resulting in 0.475× of the original damage), preventing abusive strategies. | ||
Retrieved items will appear in the user's hand and can be used as normal. If a pocketed item normally has an immediate effect when picked up, it will activate immediately once retrieved; this can allow the player to store items such as [[Food]], [[Warp Star]]s, or {{b|Hammer|item}}s for later use. In ''SSB4'', Villager can pocket collectibles like [[trophies]], [[CD]]s and [[Custom Part]]s, but they will only count to the player's [[Vault]] data if the user retrieves them. Pocketed objects are lost if the user is KOed, or in ''SSB4'', if they are not retrieved after thirty seconds or Villager enters a [[door]]; in the case of collectibles, they will not be added to the player's Vault data. | Retrieved items will appear in the user's hand and can be used as normal.
