The target is now able to attack during Clamp's duration, and can act normally. Instead, it inflicts 1/16 of the target's maximum HP as damage for two to five turns upon use, in addition to the damage dealt when it is used. "<Pokémon> was CLAMPED by <User>!" will appear. It also traps the target, preventing switching and [[escape]]. If a trapped Pokémon uses {{m|Rapid Spin}}, it will be freed. | The target is now able to attack during Clamp's duration, and can act normally.
