Bind (move)

Bind is an offensive Normal-type move.

Effect

Bind deals damage and traps the user for 4-5 turns, preventing it from switching out. Additionally, it inflicts 1/8 of the target's maximum HP of damage at the end of every turn the target is trapped.

If the user is holding a Grip Claw, Bind will always trap the target for 5 turns. If the user is holding a Binding Band, the residual damage is increased from 1/8 to 1/6 of the target's total HP.

If a Pokémon affected by Bind uses Rapid Spin, it will be freed of the trapping and damaging effects of Bind. If a Pokémon affected by Bind holds a Shed Shell, it can switch out freely but will still receive residual damage at the end of the turn.
