Trivia
- Via STAB, Cloyster, Minccino, and Cinccino can achieve a power of 187.5 with Icicle Spear and Tail Slap respectively.
- If a Pokémon with this ability holds a King's Rock or Razor Claw and uses a move that can hit five times (such as Tail Slap or Icicle Spear), the target has a 40.951% chance of flinching, due to each hit having its own chance to flinch the target.
