Effect

Generations III and IV

Snatch is an increased priority move. After being used, if another Pokémon (including an ally) attempts to use a beneficial status move, the user of Snatch steals the move and uses the move itself instead of the move's original user.

Snatch will steal the first susceptible move that is used by any other Pokémon in the same turn. If more than one Pokémon use Snatch in the same turn, the fastest Pokémon's Snatch will activate first, but the stolen move will in turn be stolen by the next fastest Pokémon's Snatch (such that only the slowest user of Snatch will receive a stolen effect in the end).

If Acupressure is stolen, it will always be applied to the user of Snatch regardless of the move's original target. If Psych Up is stolen, it will target the Pokémon the move was most recently stolen from.

Generations V to VII

Snatch no longer steals moves that were stolen by another Pokémon's Snatch on the same turn. The order in which moves are stolen is the same as the order in which Snatch was executed.

Acupressure and Psych Up can no longer be stolen. All moves that can be stolen either affect only the user or affect the user's entire team.

The following moves can now be stolen: Aqua Ring, Conversion, Healing Wish, Imprison, Lucky Chant, Lunar Dance, Magnet Rise, Power Trick, Recycle, Wish.

Rest and Swallow can now only be stolen if they would have an effect when used by the original user (regardless of whether or not they would have an effect on the user of Snatch).

If Swallow is stolen and the user of Snatch is not under the effects of Stockpile, it will nonetheless recover 25% of its max HP.

Snatch cannot steal Z-Moves, even if it could normally steal their base move.

If powered up by a Darkinium Z into Z-Snatch, the user's Speed stat rises two stages.

Generation VIII

Snatch cannot be selected in a battle.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon

In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, and Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, Snatch is a move with 17 PP. The user gives itself Snatch status condition for 5-6 turns, allowing them steal certain moves from any Pokémon on the floor, ally or enemy. There can be only one Pokémon on the floor with this status; using a move will remove the status from whoever currently has it. While the Snatchable moves are mostly the same as in main series, there are some differences: Psych Up cannot be snatched, while Aqua Ring, Healing Wish, Lucky Chant, Lunar Dance and Magnet Rise can be. This move is affected by Taunt.

Trivia

In Generation III, the status screen erroneously states that the move has 100% accuracy, even though it targets the user (thus it ignores accuracy and evasion checks).
In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, despite the move being unusable, Fantina uses a Banette that knows Snatch during the rematch. This was fixed in the 1.1.3 update, where Snatch was replaced with Payback.
