Prior to Generation V, if {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} has an effect on a move, there is a <code>p + (1 - p) * 0.1</code> chance of causing flinching, where p is the chance of flinching, when using a move on this list and holding the King's Rock or Razor Fang. The doubling effect of {{a|Serene Grace}} will activate before the King's Rock or Razor Fang boost. Generation V changed it so that the chance of flinching by items and moves does not stack.
