Effect

If held by Cubone or either form of Marowak, or a Pokémon transformed into one, doubles its Attack stat. In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, being transformed does not apply this benefit.

In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, if a Pokémon's stat reaches 1024 or higher (such as due to a held Thick Club), it will be reduced to its value modulo 1024.
