By default, an arcane trickster cannot use an arcane focus to cast their spells, as they lack the class feature that wizards and warlocks have that allows them to; this forces them to use a component pouch for their material needs.
How do spellcasting focuses work 5e?
A focus is just another way to satisfy the Material (M) component needed to cast a spell where it’s required. If a spell needs a material component, you can use your focus instead.

Do I need components if I have a focus?
Nope. A spellcasting focus can be used in place of a material component only if that component has no cost noted in the spell’s description and if that component isn’t consumed. This is important for spells such as Protection From Evil and Good which have a material component without a specific cost, which is consumed.
