Effect

Grants moves a chance of causing the target Pokémon to flinch when using one of several moves. This chance is affected by Serene Grace and the rainbow created by Fire Pledge and Water Pledge.

Generation II

Grants moves a ~12% (30/256) chance of causing the target Pokémon to flinch according to the list below. Unlike normal flinching in this generation, King's Rock will flinch asleep and frozen targets as well.

Generations III to IV

The flinch rate is now 10%. Flinching now works as for normal move flinching.

Generation V onward

Instead of working off its separate list, King's Rock now works on any attacking move that doesn't already have a chance to flinch.

A King's Rock first appeared in Ring Masters, where Ash received it as a prize for winning the Sumo Conference. Misty's Poliwhirl later used it to evolve itself into a Politoed in Outrageous Fortunes.

Another King's Rock appeared in A Crowning Achievement, where it was found on a rock after the water level in the local river dropped dramatically; Alice's Slowpoke used it to evolve into a Slowking.

A King's Rock appeared in Showdown At Linoone as one of the items Tokin picked up.

In Quilava Quandary, Gold was given a King's Rock by the Day-Care Couple after training with them, giving it to his Poliwag to hold. In Ampharos Amore, Gold's newly evolved Poliwhirl was able to use the King's Rock to evolve into a Politoed when it was temporarily traded to Silver.

In Yikes, Yanmega! II, Roseanne revealed that she researched Evolution items while studying Pokémon Evolution, including the King's Rock.

In the TCG

Call of Legends Slowking

A King's Rock is featured in the artwork of the Unleashed Politoed card and the HeartGold & SoulSilver Slowking card, as well as the Call of Legends reprint of the same Slowking.

Trivia
