Effect
Grants moves a chance of causing the target Pokémon to flinch when using one of several moves. This chance is affected by Serene Grace and the rainbow created by Fire Pledge and Water Pledge.
Generation II
Grants moves a ~12% (30/256) chance of causing the target Pokémon to flinch according to the list below. Unlike normal flinching in this generation, King's Rock will flinch asleep and frozen targets as well.
Generations III to IV
The flinch rate is now 10%. Flinching now works as for normal move flinching.
Generation V onward
Instead of working off its separate list, King's Rock now works on any attacking move that doesn't already have a chance to flinch.
Moves affected before Generation V
Outside battles
Causes Poliwhirl to evolve into Politoed when traded while holding it; causes Slowpoke to evolve into Slowking when traded while holding it.

Pokémon GO
The King's Rock was added to Pokémon GO on February 16, 2017.
The King's Rock is required to evolve certain Pokémon:
- Poliwhirl requires 100 Poliwag Candy and a King's Rock to evolve into Politoed.
- Slowpoke requires 50 Slowpoke Candy and a King's Rock to evolve into Slowking.
Level 10 and higher players can obtain the King's Rock by searching PokéStops. While normally rare, from March 21, 2017 onward the player is always guaranteed to find an Evolution item when obtaining the bonus for searching a PokéStop for the seventh day in a row.
In the anime
A King's Rock first appeared in Ring Masters, where Ash received it as a prize for winning the Sumo Conference. Misty's Poliwhirl later used it to evolve itself into a Politoed in Outrageous Fortunes.
Another King's Rock appeared in A Crowning Achievement, where it was found on a rock after the water level in the local river dropped dramatically; Alice's Slowpoke used it to evolve into a Slowking.
A King's Rock appeared in Showdown At Linoone as one of the items Tokin picked up.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
In Quilava Quandary, Gold was given a King's Rock by the Day-Care Couple after training with them, giving it to his Poliwag to hold. In Ampharos Amore, Gold's newly evolved Poliwhirl was able to use the King's Rock to evolve into a Politoed when it was temporarily traded to Silver.
In Yikes, Yanmega! II, Roseanne revealed that she researched Evolution items while studying Pokémon Evolution, including the King's Rock.
Trivia
- Only three moves changed whether they were affected by the King's Rock between Generation III and IV: Pound, Gust, and Dragon Rage are affected in Generation III but not in Generation IV.
