Due to flinching always occurring as an additional effect, having {{a|Shield Dust}} or holding a [[Covert Cloak]] also prevents the user from flinching.

Flinching does not exist in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. However, the recurring {{TCG|attack}} {{m|Fake Out}} inflicts the {{TCG|Special Condition}} {{DL|Paralysis (status condition)|In the TCG|Paralyzed}} on a successful {{TCG|coin}} flip. This suggests that Flinching is replaced by Paralyzed in the TCG. | |||
