The flinch status is a one-turn status that prevents a Pokémon from attacking. A Pokémon can only flinch if its opponent attacks first. A Pokémon who is holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} has a 10% of causing a target to flinch when using certain moves; in Generation II and III, any move that deals damage but does not have a secondary effect; in Generation IV, one of several moves on a list exclusive to the two items; in Generation V, any move that deals damage and does not already have a chance to flinch. Pokémon with the {{a|Inner Focus}} Ability are also immune to this. Most [[List of moves that cause flinching|moves that cause flinching]] are [[physical move]]s. Pokémon with {{a|Steadfast}} still flinch, but gain {{stat|Speed}} each time they do so.
