Item Text

Flavor Text

An item to be held by a Pokémon. This curious headband boosts Attack but only allows the use of one move.

Short Effect

Boosts Attack by 50% but normally locks the holder into one move.

Effect

Raises the holder’s Attack by 50% and normally restricts it to its selected move until it switches out. During Dynamax, both the stat boost and the Choice move restriction are suppressed. The old U-turn move-lock quirk does not apply to Sword and Shield.

Where to Find

Location details

Found on Route 2. Once you reach the Battle Tower, you can buy more for 25 BP each.
