'''{{Status|Flinch}}ing''' is when a Pokémon becomes unable to attack for one turn. The following moves may cause their targets to flinch, but only if the user of the moves hits first. '''Cringing''' is the equivalent condition in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]].


 
These moves are not affected by [[King's Rock]] or [[Razor Fang]] and ignore those items' flinch chance in generations in which they can cause flinching.

Reason: Japanese name of flinching and cringing and other languages section

Flinching is when a Pokémon becomes unable to attack for one turn. The following moves may cause their targets to flinch, but only if the user of the moves hits first. Cringing is the equivalent condition in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series.

These moves are not affected by King's Rock or Razor Fang and ignore those items' flinch chance in generations in which they can cause flinching.
