TM46 Thief is located in Wellspring Cave. You’ll find this cave on Route 3 just northwest of Striaton City.
And you’ll be able to pick up TM46 without any required HMs and without using Flash, so it’s a surprisingly easy TM to reach.

Thief is a Physical Dark-type move that deals damage at 40 base Power. This move will also steal the target’s held item (if they’re holding anything).
If used in a trainer battle, the item you take will only be stolen temporarily.
But if used against a wild Pokémon, the item you steal will be taken permanently and added to your Bag. This is a great way to farm rare held items in certain areas of the game.
Because of its poor damage and temporary item theft, Thief is scarcely used in battle versus trainers.
The move is much more useful for stealing held items from wild Pokémon.
Tip: Thief is best taught to Pokémon that have the Frisk ability, which reveals the opponent’s held item at the start of an encounter. Gothitelle and Banette can both have this ability, and they’re ideal Thief users.
