Flavor Text
An item to be held by a Pokémon. When the holder successfully inflicts damage, the target may also flinch.
Short Effect
Held: Damaging moves gain a 10% chance to make their target flinch. Traded on a Poliwhirl: Holder evolves into Politoed. Traded on a Slowpoke: Holder evolves into Slowking.
Effect
Held in battle : Holder's damaging moves have a 10% chance to make their target [flinch]{mechanic:flinch}. This chance applies independently to each hit of a multi-hit move. This item's chance is rolled independently of any other move effects; e.g., a move with a 30% chance to flinch normally will have a 37% total chance to flinch when used with this item, because 3% of the time, both effects activate. Held by []{pokemon:poliwhirl} or []{pokemon:slowbro} : Holder evolves into []{pokemon:politoed} or []{pokemon:slowking}, respectively, when traded.
