===Flinchax===
===Flinchax===
A moveset with a paralysis-inducing move to negate speed, and a [[List of moves that cause flinching|flinch move]] such as  {{m|Bite}}, {{m|Headbutt}}, {{m|Rock Slide}}, or {{m|Extrasensory}}, or a Pokémon holding a [[King's Rock]]. It relies on chance to repeatedly flinch the foe until it faints. As an added bonus, the paralysis will kick in 25% of the time, giving the foe only a 52% chance to use their attack. {{p|Dunsparce}} was the most feared flinchaxor in [[Generation III]], because its {{a|Serene Grace}} increases the flinch chance to 60% until the appearance of {{p|Togekiss}} in [[Generation IV]]. {{p|Jirachi}} can also do this with {{m|Zen Headbutt}} or {{m|Iron Head}}, Iron Head only available through a [[move tutor]].
